Peugeot charged £50 for a genuine HDi clutch cable last time I bought one... (albeit 2012!)
The cheap ones aren't all that great tbh, noticeably 'worse' than OE ones when comparing them, especially at the plastic clip which is the most likely part to snap! That said I have fitted a couple of cheaper ones, never kept the cars long enough to see the longeivity result though lol.
The roughness may not be the cable, it's probably the fork bushes, even if they 'look' good, they're usually crap I find. Went to all the effort of changing clutch and cable on one but just couldn't get the arm off for the fork bushes...result, a very expensive but still shit feeling clutch.
