... but my answer is "neither."
Over the years, the single most important thing to me has been the interface, not the format, let alone lossy vs lossless vs high res.
And I say that as a person who (still) enjoys the "rigamarole" of playing records, often more than I do tapping or keying software to play music.
But yeah within any platform I will vigorously fight for the best implementation of it, so high res is "most important" to me for digital platforms, assuming competent production values.
(It's not about choosing gear over music. It's about advocacy for finest potential enjoyment.)

My understanding is that 2016 was a watershed year for digital interface, as Roon matured onto more hardware and finally, comes embedded in hardware (ELAC.) That said, relying on a tablet or desktop computer to access that makes me nervous, as compared to say dedicated hardware (Sooloos remains the example?, i.e. having one entity control "the whole widget" for continuity).
I never worry about having a seemingly innocuous update bork my turntable or amp, let along my LPs. I value appliance-like predictability, and we remain eons away from it with digital music reproduction.
(Playing records isn't "better" than playing files; it's MY chosen poison.)
