I don't think you'll notice much of a difference one way or the other.

Cable most places is only 1m, Ethernet on newer PC's is 100m usually. So cable limits you, not the connection
In other words - what Lbrty9 said :)

don't use USB. it will load a driver (dont need any extra crap using the ethernet connection). Plus in the future if you add a router for more computers or wireless, you won't have to even think of using different cables.
