Good to read a veteran Rega still doing sterling service. I recently helped Greg (BVWS) get a skip find early Rega up and going again and back to rude health.
I feel another reason for optical connections being popular is the optical transmitter is disregarded when it comes to EMC compliance testing whereas the Co-Axial, being a (wire) cable connection, will be more likely to radiate RFI thus making EMC compliance a little trickier.
The best optical transmitters and receivers are the Toshiba parts, the clones work OK, but the Toshiba are far better.
I think my optical connectors came from Farnell or CPC.
