its a digital signal, so there will be literally zero difference between hdmi and display port for your situation.

HDMI since it's cheaper. There will be no difference image-wise.

Just so you know, there is no "display" connector, it's "displayport" (one word)

 

In terms of connectors, displayport is superior, supporting higher bandwidth and it has a locking connector, but in your situation the locking connector is the only real difference you would have.
