For wire just go to any auto parts store. They will have different size cable that is flexible in rolls so you can get the length you need..
Welding supply or solar supply store will also have good high strand count wire.
Installing with low strand count is sometimes difficult because it does not bend well.
Remember that the DC resistance of the wire is measured from the converter to the battery and back.. So 10 ft is really 20..
