Turntable to Phono to Pre connections


If my turntable only has SE outputs and my Phono Pre has both SE and XLR outputs, is there any benefit to using the XLR outputs to my PreAmp or should I stick to SE?

This question is related to the first.  I run RCA from my VPI Prime to PsAudio phono pre, and XLR to Rogue RH5 preamp, RCA to the amp.  The RH5 has only one XLR input so I used it for phono rather than DAC reasoning that anything that lowers noise in the phono section is a good thing.  But is there any point in using XLR in the middle of a line that includes RCAs on each end?
