s/pdif recording

hey im new here and need to get some info. im making some changes to my home studio and need some help. i have been using a m-audio delta 410 s/c, a behringer 1222FXpro analog mixer, m-audio studiopro monitors, along with my guitar fx boxes. i make my backings in FL studio, and i pretty much record just guitar and vocals.
i just bought a new Boss GT-8 guitar processor and it has a S/PDIF digital output. my sound card has this also. i guess my question is, is S/PDIF better for recording than a regular line-in? should i be using that now instead?
only problem is my mixer doesnt have any of that so i would not be able to use the effects in it...unless i figured out some way to use the effects loop with my processor.
would appreciate any help.thanks
 
If it's better or not depends on the quality of the converters on the sound card. Try it and see if you think it sounds better to you.
