It is worth using a "High Speed" (Category 2) HDMI cable if you need 1080p, 3D, or 4K... however even those can still be purchased *very* cheaply, even ones with Ethernet.

No need whatsover to pay for expensive cables. As for gold plated connectors... rather pointless given that the sockets are not gold plated.

HDMI cables are so badly advertised...
