I changed over to Jagwire cables on the road bike and did notice a slightly better 'feel' under heavy braking compared with the tired Clarks I was using previously. Two years on and the Jagwire cables (both inners and outers) are performing well.
I think for the small price premium they were worth it but, as others have said, Clarks et al are fine for a beater/rat/pub bike.
