Am I just crazy or do some cables work better with different chargers and charge different devices at a different speed?
It's driving me mad. My aukey cable charges my Nexus 5 faster than it does my redmi (measured in mAh), my Nexus cable charges the redmi faster, etc.
Man I wish there was an established method for testing a hypothesis.

And no you aren't crazy. The gauge used for the wires inside the cable make a huge difference, some manufacturers also add extra "power" pins and cables into their micro usb cables to charge faster. Motorola and LG for example charge quicker on Motorola and LG brand cables.

I can't believe it's 2016 and we still havent developed the scientific method

Yes you are correct, I have a slow charging cable and a fast charging cable that also does data transfers

Yeah but my 20cm aukey cable charges my Nexus 5 at a higher mAh than my redmi 3 pro, but my $1.5 20cm braided chink cable charges the redmi faster than the nexus.

That's fundamental electricity

That's pretty vague; where in physics 102 did you learn this?
Black power cables charge faster than white ones.
manufacturers tell you to use the wall outlet to usb plug with their provided usb cable for a reason-- their plug and usb cable are capable of carrying the same current
when you start switching them around you are going to be limited by whichever is slower.

>manufacturers tell you to use the wall outlet to usb plug with their provided usb cable for a reason
The one and only reason is that they want people to buy accessories from them instead of their competition. There's no scientific validity to it.
