for this purpose. a cable is a cable. brand doesnt matter.
all id look for is the most flexible one. as you dont want a too rigid cord hampering your shooting
The best thing I've found is at B&H they have the HDMI for the Flip camera. You get two cables, Black 2ft and White 6.5ft for $7!!!! http://goo.gl/F71ln
Just bought it and it works perfectly! Hurry up as Flip is now dead this may be the end of the stock.
The quality seems pretty good and the plug stays put in the camera. And seriously, you get TWO cable for half the price of one!!!!! Dang!
