Long runs- digital or video


My new theater has a rear projector. Most of the components are up front. I could move the AV receiver to the rear. So, which is better for the long run (about 25ft): Digital cable, S-video, component video, or RCAs (to the front 2 channel amp)? Thanks, Michael

S-Video is supposed to run into signal loss after 15 feet, although I run 21 feet without too much problem. Other cabling is probably less prone to signal loss than s-video, so if you can, run longer lengths of others and shorter lengths of S if you have to use it.
