Some say they hear a difference, some say they don't. Some decry plastic toslink in favor of glass. Largely, a digital cable is a digital cable. The "quality" is mostly a result of how well it's terminated. Regardless, this is one of those debates that is subjective and based around audiophile gear.

Between those two cables / your application, none of it should matter.
