You can never have to many cores. Always nice to have a spare available (within reason)
 
cu or cca

Definitely Cu and NOT cca or ccs ( steel )

8 core (minimum)
CCA only on short runs and a decent brand like CQR
Should use copper if doing it properly
Shielded cable only if interference is likely as there is no other route to run the cables.

The list goes on but that should be more than adequate.
 
Have a look on CPC Farnell's website, they have Cu and CCA in various core counts.
