USB (USBTMC) vs GPIB (IEEE-488) in terms of EM immunity and general robustness

May I ask for opinions based on experience and perhaps some written sources about USB (and USBTMC) and GPIB (IEEE-488) electromagnetic immunity and general robustness for instruments control? Some comparison would be nice. I'm more interested in EMI than bandwidth/latency comparisons.

 

I have some bad experiences with USB (but I'm not sure if it was USBTMC standard). Time flies, stuff changes, so I would like to know if my prejudices are still justified.

 

PS: RS232 could be added to this discussion but it is less important to me.
