Are there any advantages / disadvantages to either method? XSP-1 is connected to a pair of XPA-100's via balanced outputs. Thanks!

XLR's baby!

After spending so much money on the two products don't let a $10-20 difference throw you off. Check out monoprice I've used their XLR's and they were pretty nice.
