Rode NTK/OKtava 012's -> DMP3 -> 424mkIII - balanced or un btwn DMP's and MKIII?

Like the subject tries to say, I am using a Rode NTK for vox, and a pair of Oktavas for acoustic guitar, and running them into DMP-3's, and then into a Tascam 424 MKIII. From there, I have the choice to go into the MKIII 1/4 " to XLR (balanced) or 1/4" to 1/4" (unbalanced).

I'm planning on going in unbalanced but would welcome any advice here about why one might be better than the other.

Cheers,
Dave
 
I'm 99.999999% sure that you want to go into the 1/4" inputs on the 424. The XLR inputs are for microphones and go into the crappy pres on the Portastudio (even if the trim pot is set at 0). I have a 424mkII and you want to go into the 1/4" which are for line-level signals (which the output of the pre will be)
