I'm moving house, so have to uproot my AV system which is a 5.1.4

The current speaker wire I'm using for the surrounds and atmos speakers in the ceiling is nothing particularly expensive and is going to be quite a PITA to reclaim, so I'll probably leave it in situ.

So any recommendations on something suitable to use?

I've read before that surrounds don't particularly need anything too fancy as they aren't carrying the detail that the fronts and centre do, don't know if that's true or not. But the new room it's going in is currently being batoned and boarded so I have the chance to run the wire behind the boards atm, which will be a lot neater than running it up the walls with trunking as it is now.
 
I'm just reading that with a 5.1 the rears want to be a foot or two higher than ear level, but with Atmos as well then it's best to keep them more at ear level, so as to get the separation from the ceiling speakers?

I'm using Kef Q150's as the rears and I was thinking about wall mounting them (angled downwards?) but now I'm wondering if it's best to keep them on stands?
