Home made if you can.
Deka makes some nice 100% copper made in the USA products still. They run about $60 for 4 GA 16 foot. Most 4 GA will be 20 footers that you look at, Deka makes a set like that too but add another $20 to the price tag.

At this price point you might consider a lithium ion booster. Noco now makes even more powerful models if you want something strong. 1000 amps for $125

I buy all my copper from this guy. He will custom make cables too if 20' is outside your needs

You could buy heavy gauge wire at home depot for probably $2.00/ft

Home made is good.
I made a set 20 ft. long from 00 welding cable 50 years ago and they still serving.
Just about need help carrying them is the only draw back.

Some of the cheaper ones are copper clad aluminum. The clamps will have to be steel with copper clad, as copper is not strong enough for a clamp. The welding wire will be more strands for a given gauge than normal jumper cables. Maybe look on CL for used welding cable and make your own.

My father has a few sets of homemade ones from welding cable. They are ... quite heavy.

a set of good cables is always a good idea.but, they're useless if you're stranded, and nobody is around to give you a boost.and, that happens, often.
I was called a few times to give friends a boost, and did so, with a unit similar to the ones in the above link.each of these friends immediately went and bought a unit like mine.
just food for thought.have a good day.
