Everything I say has probably already been said, but I'll post anyway.
For video, use some cheap A/V cables (the ones with the 3-color RCA plugs) as they are readily availible and shielded.
For controls, solid or stranded would be fine. Stranded is much better when you're going to be moving wire around a lot, but in a CP is should be secured anyway.
For power, I recommend stranded, because properly thick solid wires would be incredibly stiff.
