Stick with powered risers. The unpowered flat ribbon cable style wires are too thin for using under constant load. The best kind have a voltage regulator to make sure the card isn't pulling too much power from the slot. Performance wise for mining they are about the same. I prefer the six pin PCI-E  power connector risers as it distributes the load over more and thicker wires.
