Which is better Coax or Optical cables


I wanted to get some opinions on which provides better sound, coax or optical cables.  Is there a benefit to using one over the other?  Is there a brand/model you recommend?

thankful

I've owned: Creative Cable Black Knight (coax), Creative Cable Green Hornet (coax), Nordost Valhalla (coax), and Audioquest Vodka (Toslink).

The only one I still own, and continue to use, is the Audioquest Vodka. The price/performance ratio, in my all digital system, is fantastic. It's got 95% of the sonic attributes of the Valhalla, just missing that last bit of air and sound staging.  

The Creative Cable products are quite nice as well, but a tad laid-back for my tastes.
