XLR or HDMI for Audio Only?

Good morning to the Community!  I am seeking a bit of advice concerning the highest fidelity method in which to transmit an audio only signal.  Let’s dispense with the equipment itself and assume all things being equal, which route would you choose – XLR or HDMI?  Many thanks!

To me the number one failing of HDMI is the connectors are very fragile. I do not like them at all. but use one just for the TV/disc spinner. XLR are battleship ready. Tough, very unbreakable. Designed to be kicked around in the professional studio.  
Bump a HDMI connector slightly the wrong way ...dead. junk.
