I've never had problems with non-oem cables. I mean, it's sort of like saying that the HDMI cables available from Monoprice are somehow going to bork your equipment and you have to go with Monster.
So, as long as the cables have the same ports and connectors, you should be just fine. I'm looking for a non-oem inexpensive cable myself but a lot of them are unclear as to whether they are mini or micro usb connectors.
