a coax digital connection is always preferable to a toslink(optical) one. Typically the coax connection has a bandwidth of 10 meg whereas the toslink has a bandwidth of 4 meg. The coax digital connection will give more a more detailed and vivid sound. Obviously the cable will have alot to do with the sound. I have noticed that panasonic has deleted the coax digital out on some of their dvd players which is a mistake in my opinion. Many people confuse the toslink optical connection with the superior st optical glass connection.
