I regularly use and install TMB's DataPlex DMX cable. Its available in standard and plenum rated. Although for install use, in conduit is preferred. They also have an uprated version called ProPlex that is practically indestructable. Its excellent for rental and touring use. For a theatre, either grade would be an excellent choice, but if you have the budget, look at the ProPlex. Prebuilt, they are available with Amphenol or Neutrik connectors with footage marked in yellow and black bands with a shrink wrap on each end for your house label (ie your name). It comes in bulk spools of 1000ft for installation use.
For the stagepin connectors we have used both Rosco (bates style) and TMB's ProPins. I am extremely impressed with the ProPins. I have switched all my clients over to them. Van was mentioning the ferules, which ProPin does use, but i find they work very well without them installed if your using 12 gauge cabling. They are also the connector of choice for ETC's fabrication department.
