Silicone-based insulation is very good from a temperature perspective,
though they are typically more expensive and mechanically weaker than PVC
isolation. It's pretty nice to work with though, as it's very easy to strip
and very flexible.

The classic wire wrap wire has kevlar insulation, and I believe that it
handles heat pretty well.
Teflon insulated wire does well, also, but it is a pain to strip without
the proper tool.

I use some Belden control cable left over from a lighting project.
It's 10 or 12 conductors of 24 ga stranded wire.
It doesn't melt near as bad as Cat 5 or phone wire.
You might check with sound and lighting companies around town
to see if they have any scraps. A 10' piece will last a good while.
