There are only two Type-C cables assemblies. Fully featured one, and USB 2.0 one (doesn't carry superspeed and sideband signals). Appart from that, all cables support 3 amperes. So unless you want more for some reason, USB 2.0 vs 3.x is all you need to care about. Only USB 3.0 cables will work for all use cases. 5A cables are less physically flexible, but more efficient regardless of whether the devices need 5A or not. 3A/5A distinction just affects energy transfer efficiency. So there are only two axes of parameters to decide about, and only one affects functionality and only USB 2.0 cable option will be functionally limiting. Similar concerns apply if you want Type-C legacy cable (with non-type-C connector on one side). But that's straying away from the type-c only world, anyway.
