The BT home hub only supports 24Mbit/s max and BT Broadband has a maximum of 8MBit/s (assuming you are really near the exchange) so it doesn't actually make any real world difference which interfaces you use, either is going to cope without issue.
But to answer the question the home hub has USB 1.1 so the onboard 10/100Mbit/s Ethernet connection is fastest.

On a Bt home hub
USB is 480Mbit/sec = 60Mbytes/sec
Wireless is 54Mbytes/sec
Ethernet is 100Mbytes/sec
So the ethernet is the fastest

Ethernet is capable of being much faster than USB, though most users won't actually notice a difference, unless they have a very fast 4mb+ broadband connection.
Also, the ethernet port on a computer is only used for networking/connecting, whilst usb are used for lots of other things, so if you're using USB it will get slower if you're using usb ports for other things at the same time and you'll run out of USB ports too, so connect up the ethernet and forget about it!

Ethernet, hands down.
USB ports can only sustain a connection of about 54 meg a second where as Ethernet can support up to 100 gig per second (aslong as the cable can take the dataflow)
although wireless is the way forward, the technology is a little unstable at the moment. give it 5 years and we will have no use for ethernet cables

Whatever your modem ethernet will always be much faster than USB. They only really have USB for computers that might not have an ethernet socket / network card.

the network adapter in the PS3 is pretty good and the strength of the signal coming from the BT Routers are pretty good compared with others. I reckon it must be the construction of your house causing the problem. That said, it could be a problem with either the PS3 or Router. Try testing the strength of the signal with a computer/phone throughout your house to determine which. good luck!

Trust me, it's ethernet!
