It makes no difference to the security of your machine what sort of connection you have; but there are issues with IP address stealing at some cable providers. IIRC the way some providers are set up you can steal the IP addresses of machines on the same subnet as you if you have the right tools(software). So; it's not going to make an obvious difference in terms of securing your box, but in terms of connection robustness and reliability it might. DSL may have the same issues; I don't know...
