Whilst I know that the price of scarts on older devices wont affect the quality whatsoever, but what about HDMI cables? Would it be worth buying a more expensive lead or just to get the £1-5 ones?

All HDMI leads have the same picture quality.
The only difference you will get with paying for a higher priced 1 is more protection on the cable such as triple/quad shielding which will increase the life span of the cable.
Ebay is a great place to get cheap, good quality cables.

Better quality cables offer better and more stable transfer over a longer length, over 3 metres and a cheap HDMI cable may show problems, like occasionally dropping signal data.. Under 3 metres a cheap cable should perform as equally well as an expensive Uber Ninja titanium platinum gold plated "Nothing Else will Do" branded cable.
