Re: Cable length
Someone advised me once that every cable between your guitar, amp, and pedals to be as short as you can comfortably get away with.

Re: Cable length
in some clubs i ended up using between 30-40 feet of cable before the amp... most common was a 15 footer to the pedalboard.... a 15 footer to the amp... and because of the way i run my pedalboard there was with a Boss Line Selector pedal i'd have close to 5 feet of cable on it or more... Sometimes i'd use 20 footers if i had room... sometimes i'd use a few 10 footers... but 15's were most common....
I really did not notice a huge difference... but i did prefer medium-higher output pickups with that rig.... JB's mostly... they seemed to offer enough juice down the cable for me...

Re: Cable length
There will be some loss, but with a good cable it will be minimalized. Also, the cord from the guitar to the pedalboard is most important IF there is a pedal with a buffer on the pedalboard. If all your pedals are true bypass, then all of the cable matters even more, not to mention the switches.

Re: Cable length
Cables are capacitors and do create loss....You might want to look into some kind of buffer in line before your amp?
