Definitely. So, only way to know which is better is to test both /with
your own equipment/ (and your own eyes--as much of the "better" is
subjective rather than objective).

I would disagree. Analog will work better for long runs--but primarily
because of the committee (i.e. "design by committee") that designed
DVI/HDMI cables to use twisted-pair wires rather than coaxial wires even
after the decision to use Serial Digital Interface (SDI) signaling
(which was designed for coaxial cables) was made.

especially the part under the heading "The Role of Cable and Connection
Quality".
