Connect via ethernet cable or powerline?

I have the choice of connecting a WiFi access point directly via ethernet cable or via existing electrical wiring using Netgear Poweline model PLP1000.  Is there any benefit one way or the other?

If you have the ethernet option, I'd go that route. Powerline is susceptible to interference. A direct connection is going to give you the best speeds, lowest latency, and most reliability.
