Which is better for recording with Catalist - USB 2 or 3?

Just like in the the title. I have 2 USB 3 ports in front of the PC, some USBs 2 in the back and 4 hubs of USB... well theoretically 3.2 in the monitor. I wrote theoretically because when I plugged the web camera there was still the warning from the camera that for better performance I should connect it  to USB 3. So not sure now why, but anyway I always connect Catalyst to one of the hubs on my monitor, because PC is too far from amp. But now I wonder what is best for Cat. Should i plug it directly to the PC(not monitor) and what type of USB should I choose for recording?
Most of the time I plug Cat to my closest USB hub on monitor(next to Bluetooth USB transmitter which is probably bad because I just found this statement in the monitor's manual:

*To avoid signal interference, when a wireless USB device has been connected to a USB downstream port, it is not recommended to connect any other USB devices to the adjacent port.

  
So If I understand this correctly I should connect Cat to different port not that one that is adjacent  to BT transmitter .

Also when I asked Google what generation of USB is best for recording Catalyst here is the answer AI gave me:

For the best recording results with a Line 6 Catalyst, using USB 2.0 is recommended. While USB 3.0 offers faster data transfer, the Catalyst is designed with USB 2.0 in mind, and using it directly on USB 3.0 ports may cause issues or unexpected behavior. The Catalyst's ASIO driver also works best with USB 2.0, especially when recording. 


Is that true? I know that sometimes AI is lying. Should I use USB 2.0? If that is true I will have to rearrange my room because all of my USB 2 ports are in the back of my PC

I heard an AI playing the guitar.

It sounded very digital.

 

USB 3 is fine. IDK about the BT thing. If you get noise, unplug the BT. If the noise goes away, plug the BT in somewhere else.

It's called "wireless" for a reason...
