Ethernet is a really really bad idea for anybody who intends to travel or tour with the module.
Having to carry around a hub and/or something to DHCP an IP to it, plus ethernet cables would all be a huge PITA.
Hey, why not make it WiFi! Or Bluetooth! Noooo!

KISS - USB or MIDI.

My vote is also for Ethernet because:
1. you can talk to an Ethernet device with standard network protocols
(UDP or TCP) where as with USB you potentially need a device driver on
the computer end of the connection
2. like MIDI (by way of optocouplers), Ethernet (by way of pulse
transformers) has galvanic isolation = no ground loop between computer
and audio equipment
3. Ethernet allows for really long cables = computer doesnt need to be
located right next to the audio equipment to make the connection
My second choice would be MIDI but Ethernet is much cooler
