Does the quality of the spades matter

If you could chose between thin gold plated or thick silver plated over copper, which would be preferred?

On their high end speaker wire (Type 6 and above), AQ offers Silver-plated #P-8 spades as standard (over thick LGC copper). Which spades would be preferred: Gold or Silver plated P-8's?
