What are you guys using for high end fiber HDMI cables?

I need one for a 40' run. I've heard good things about Ethereal - Any experience with their "install bay" line?

I use the Metra installer bay ones all the time, never had an issue and pass everything I feed.

I've used AVPro/BulletTrain with great results. the AQ Cherry cola is also a great option.

We just pulled in 8 install bay cables on a job, 80’ and 100’. Installed several of the Metra removeable head cables a few weeks ago.
There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

I (of course) being an unbiased individual recommend the Ethereal Instal Bay line of Fiber Cables. It is what I use in my system.

InstallBay for the win. Have used many of their longer lengths.

Can you see the difference using the AQ over a $150 cable?

Hard to say as I've never used a $150 cable for that length and I've never really compared them A/B either.

I've used the Bullet Train and AQ both at 15m and both worked great with Sony 4k TV's, AppleTV's and Rokus at 4K

No, because that's not possible with an HDMI signal.

Unless you're talking about "sparkles", but I consider that a cable failure, not a question of "better" picture quality.
