Basically, it really doesn't matter. the only possible inherent advantage for bitstream is that since the data is still packet-ized then traveling over the HDMI cable, you have better jitter resistance. But that assumes the receiver doesn't use a data buffer and reclock on the HDMI inputs, which eliminates the jitter, and is fairly common these days. Seriously badly worded poll here, engadget.
