You sure you need 16g?

If those are in flexing applications, you can count on the foil shield breaking over time and losing wire coverage. This will negate the shielding. Those wires are very much meant for static applications. With a high flex rated cable, typically you will have a good amount of shielding to minimize binding of cables against each other during flex operations. The wires are usually centered as close to the neutral axis as possible to minimize overall movement. You will want a braided shield for moving applications.

The type of shield also affects what frequencies are emitted or received by the cable shield. Typically the braided shields outperform the foil shields in all but the lowest frequencies.
