RCA to RCA allows you to configure inputs on the Companion as well as the Master because the RCAs are bi-directional. RCA to XLR does not allow that because the XLR can only be used as an input (i.e. not bidirectional). I also agree with @markush that going RCA - RCA and using a trigger cable does allow the Companion to go to sleep fully (like the Master) thus reducing the temp of the Companion when in sleep. No difference, of course, when in use.
FWIW, I have tried both to see if I could hear a difference. I could not, but I suppose depending upon cable chosen your results may be different.
