20 feet is to long for a single USB cable. you will have to use an active hub.If there is a reclocker in the circuit, any of these would work great. Without, the USB will be the best, followed by the AES, S/PDIF and Toslink the worst. This is assuming that the laptop is not grounded.
Another option that you did not mention is USB to I2S. This leaves all the rest in the dust IMO, but must have an I2S DAC.
