I started cutting up RCA cables after being so disappointed with the sheilded wire I've bought elsewhere.
The cheap RCA cables I bought from Allelectronics.com has some of the best quality sheilded wire I've ever seen.

I switched to using teflon wire exclusively for both amps and pedals. For pedals it gets tricky because it's more rigid but it pays off. Much better and doesn't melt.
There's an ebay shop that sells teflon wire, they have it in all sizes...

+1 on teflon.
Here are some non teflon sources though.

I've used 4-conductor, 22-gauge (stranded), shielded wire that is called "security" wire.  I guess it's for use in wiring home security systems.  I use it for connecting pots to PCB (just using three of the conductors).  You can buy it by the foot at Home Depot, or in 500ft. spools.  There are sometime also Ebay sellers - be careful about what you get though - as unshielded versions are also available.

I've found that old guitar cable tens to be a little thick and tough to work with in a stompbox.  I was in a pinch for some recently, so I went to radioshack and bought a 3ft 1/8" mono cable, planning on splicing it up for my needs.  When I stripped it I found the shielding to be 4- count them, 4 tiny strands of copper wire between the core and the insulation.  Needless to say, it didn't work out so well.

I also use old RCA type cables and just cut them up.  To buy new cables for cheap check out monoprice.com
