XLR cables usually are "better" than TS cables (like a guitar instrument cable) because TS cables are unbalanced. But there's not really a difference between a TRS and an XLR, just a different plug. TRS cables don't "lock" the way XLR cables often do, preventing accidental pull-out, so there's that, but otherwise, they're basically the same.

I have no idea about the Audient send and return functionality.
