To me, the difference is largely convenience versus quality. CDs are very convenient because there is little maintenance. Vinyl records must be cleaned each time, and the stylus must also be cleaned and replaced regularly. But vinyl records always sound better to me, sometimes just a little but often quite a bit.
Another option presents itself though. Blu-ray sound is sometimes incredibly good. And for the same reason, there are lossless high-resolution digital formats that are quite good.
Even so, I must admit that I consider vinyl to be the gold standard. Might be partially that I'm addicted to the process, might have some nostalgia thrown in there too. But it is my favorite format. All the others are just my daily convenience formats.
