Concerto Cadenzas

Okay, so I know that with per service and regional orchestras usually only the exposition of a major concerto is required, but what about for a top 10 orchestra? Should we prepare cadenzas for each movement? And is the committee expecting to hear something unique or is it okay to play one of the standard cadenzas that I've been practicing since high school? What does it take to win one of these jobs?

I am a member of an ICSOM orchestra and have served on the audition committee for many many auditions. Please believe me when I say that all the committee wants is for you to play your best. Pick repertoire that will enable you to do that.
