One is probably higher quality than the other. It won't make much of a difference, though. HDMI either works or it doesn't. I read an article on the difference between HDMI Monoprice and Monster (which have all kinds of fancy things like gold-plating and what not) cables, and it said that at 1080p resolutions, both cables will perform pretty much indentically. It's only when you get to resolutions like 1440p will you see a difference.
