Control Cable Housings

My Cape Charles has the Feathercraft rudder kit on it, with the black plastic housings for the rudder cables to run through. I'm not real impressed with the durability, the cables will eventually cut through the plastic, and it wont be fun to replace. HVAC systems use pneumatic tubing with a little thicker wall but it is still plastic. Any better ideas? Perhaps bicycle cable?
