Optical should be fine unless the HDMI is more convenient. That system won't process lossless audio codecs such as Dolby TruHD so HDMI won't sound better.
The DTS audio codecs on that soundbar seem to be a way to make the sound better (or at least different) but since they may have decided not to pay DTS for surround processing on a 2.0 unit. I am not even sure a TV will pass DTS.
I suspect that PCM will be as good as Dolby but you can judge for yourself.
