I'd prefer CDs.  I think it just sounds cleaner (no hissing or pops or crackles as when playing a record).  And as far as the technology, digital audio recording (such as CDs) has the capability of exactly reproducing the audio every time without wearing out so easily.

And when CDs came out, I heard CDs should technically be able to last hundreds of years.  Some people say they've experienced bit rot and have gone bad over the years, but I'd have to wonder how they've been stored.  Some of my oldest CDs and DVDs were ones I bought in the 90s and early 2000s and they have always played without any problems.  I've tended to store them indoors on a shelf though, and lately, they've been in closets.  If you store optical media near a window or in another place where they'll get sunlight for extended periods of time, or in very musty/humdi conditions, I coudl see how their lifespan would be reduced.
