This really is a personal preference issue as any of the standard throttle cables/quadrants will work just fine. My KR has a vernier throttle in the center, my SuperCub has the throttle mounted into the left side trim panel with a friction adjustment under the panel. My last plane before that had a center throttle quadrant. I find that in the KR I like the fine control of dialing a tiny bit of throttle in or out with the vernier control. I don't ever give it a thought as it took me a minute or two to recall which type of throttle I have.
On both planes, I used an A-740 RACHET CONTROL cable for both mixture and carb heat. This type of cable is like any other push/pull bowden cable, but has a series of detents on the handle, so it clicks as it slides in or out and won't creep. That gives me a good reference when setting the mixture.
