My opinion is that there is no one right answer. It all varies with the components you are looking to cable together. So for one set of components AES/EBU may be the best way to go, for another set USB, and for yet another Digital Coax. And that doesn’t even get into the fact that even within a given class of cables there can be a considerable degree of variation, as the cable itself is also a component.

That being said, my starting point would be to contact the manufacturer to get their take on their component. They might be able to provide some valuable insight into what works best with their particular component.
