    is using a USB ethernet adapter preferable to a wireless access point that is close to my machine?

    Almost certainly. Always go wired when possible. Not only will the wired device be faster, there will be more bandwidth available for other devices still using wireless. Wireless is a shared transmission medium you want as few devices using it as possible.
