Ethernet Or Adsl Cable?

So, here's the thing.
Phone line comes in on one side of the house, smart new PC Media Centre set up 10M away on the other side.
Question.
Do I use a loooong ADSL cable from phone socket filter to my router and a short Ethernet cable to the PC
OR
a short ADSL cable to my router and a looooong Ethernet cable to the PC ?
Which would give better results. The prices of cables seem to be similar so no clues there.
My router is wifi capable and can be positioned anywhere as required, but I don't want to load up the wifi any more as we already run two laptops and an internet radio/media streamer on it. Also, I like the security of a hard wired primary system.
I did a search but nothing answered my specific issue.
Thanks in advance.
