I was always steered away from Smith machines. I have yet to see a need for them with exception for those who cannot safely use a power rack. Most of the big name lifters, both olympic and power, do not use them.
Cables seem to be predominantly a bodybuilder (manscaping) thing. I think the machine linked above is inferior to a sturdy power rack, olympic bar, and adjustable bench.
If you don't have physical limitations, stick to barbell training for strength and dumbells if you need auxillary work.
Just my worthless 2 cents.
