"They" say the best integration of subs with your main speakers are obtained by using high level inputs. The signal to your sub is the same as to your speakers, having gone through the same signal path.
Maybe somebody else can support or refute this. I do know that manufacturers would not incur the added cost of high level inputs on the higher end subs without a justification.
I would guess XLRs would be the next best path, RCA last.
In this hobby there will always be those that vehemently advocate or refute damn near anything without evidence, so make your own judgements and don't look back.
I use the high level inputs on my RELs, and am very satisfied with the results. Would I be just as satisfied with using XLRs? probably.
