Since I've upgraded (forced by a dead charging port on the Note5) to my Galaxy S9+, all of my old charging cords are now obsolete (for this phone).

Need to order a couple spares.

For my car, a 2' cord would be ideal, to not leave a ton of slack.
Could move the OE cord to my wife's car
And want to get a 5-6' for nightstand duty.

Any preferred brands for these?

Anker braided cables are all I buy now. I get them through Amazon.

I made the same change and have had good luck with these, allowing me to keep using my old cables.

The downside of that type of adapter is that they typically do not support USB-PD (Power Delivery).

USB-PD is a fairly new standard that allows much higher power transfer than previously possible over USB, and many current-generation USB-C phones support using USB-PD to charge at two or three times the rate of previous devices.

Of course, you need both a USB-PD compliant charger and a USB-PD compliant cable.

To my knowledge, the USB-PD standard doesn't actually require that all the bits be USB-C, but everything I've seen in the real world that uses it is.

Thanks, we use a lot of Amazon Basics & Anker stuff for the iOS devices at work.
We haven't had need to buy any android peripherals in a couple years since we've made a few field software changes & dropped all of our Android tablets.

They had genuine Samsung USB-C cords at Wal Mart for $9.97, so I bought 2. Still amazed at how fast a 3000mhz battery charges when running a stock turbo charger and the right cord.

mAh (milliamp-hours) not mhz (megahertz).

The USB-PD chargers are great (used with devices that are USB-PD compliant).

Old-style USB chargers generally put out 10 watts or so. Certain non-standard charging systems like Qualcomm Quick Charge could increase that - recent QC versions put out up to 18W.

The USB-PD standard supports power supplies that can put out up to 100W. Many USB-PD phones will take 25-30W from a USB-PD charger that can put out that much juice.

The other plus is that my MacBook Pro (85W), Nintendo Switch (40W), and Google Pixel 2 XL (18W) can all use the same power adapter, given it can supply the necessary juice.

I too bought the braided USB-C cords from Amazon and they work great and are pretty reasonably priced.

I have to agree. Anker seems to be top of the line currently.
