Thanks for all the useful info guys, and no thanks to all the useless info.
I got the CCD BNC cable from Fry's and it works great!
Most any decent RG59 (or better) coaxial cable will typically work just fine if you're running less than 100ft. There's not a whole lot of difference between the cheaper CCTV cable and higher-grade 3GHz or 4GHz rated cable. The latter types being good for digital satellite, HD-SDI and other digital sources. The main difference is it's a lower resistance, lower impedance cable with more consistent wire properties through the run. Most of the time you should be more concerned over the connectors and their quality than the cable itself.
