My experience is 40 years ago, but it was that foam was able to give better high frequency response but that it deteriorated rather quickly and loudspeakers needed to be re-coned more quickly.
So does rubber or foam deteriorate quicker today? I don't know. Search for what you want long life span or better sound with your favorite search engine.
