I have the option to use either RCA coaxial cable or Fiber Optic cable for DVD, CD, and Satellite. I have been using Fiber Optic for SAT and DVD.
Is there a reason (except the immunity from hum) that I should choose Fiber Optic over Coaxial Cable?

I'm pretty much in your situation. It's coax to the receiver from DirecTV. I was thinking about 6 foot runs from the sat box and the BR player to my receiver.
I've tried both now, and I think if you made me choose double blind, I couldn't tell the difference. I think a FIOS feed would make a difference.

We have fiber for CATV, internet and phone. Once in the house it is coaxial though and Ethernet.
