Subjective for direct to TV, Highly recommended for Framemeister
I got to buying an official cable when I noticed 3rd party ones I bought were having "sync distortion" like issues happening, image jumping around on my Framemeister.
The official cable has no issues whatsoever with the Framemeister, perfect stable image, so for anyone who uses a PS2 via Framemeister, I highly recommend going for an official cable instead if you want a stable image.
But as far as directly into a TV or capture device, it's entirely subjective. Overall, the picture quality isn't that much different between the official cable and all 3rd party cables I tried. There's no sharpness or colour loss. The only difference I see is that the 3rd party cables had a dithering texture added over certain colours while official cable was clean.
Unless you really get bothered with dithering on colours, it really comes down to how much you're willing to spend on an official cable. If budget is a concern and not using a Framemeister, any 3rd party cable will do you perfectly fine when directly into a TV and still delivers a much better picture than Composite/Yellow AV.
