If you have an optical cable, as well as a coax, hook it up with both
at the same time. Switch between them. If you can't hear any
difference, unhook the coax and listen to the optical. Can you now hear
any difference compared to before? If yes, go with the optical! If no,
go with the optical anyway!

If, on the other hand, you could actually hear a difference when both
coax and optical were connected at the same time, then you have to
choose based on comparing optical (with disconnected coax!), to coax.

Why all this strange reasoning?
Well, I've come to the conclusion that at least in my system the act of
connecting the SB to the DAC galvanically (electrically) makes a bigger
difference to the sound than the actual path the digital information
takes! So the coax is a bad influence even if I'm actually listening to
the optical.
