I’m trying to run the headphone jack on my stage out to my in ear system. I have a quality mogami snake. I need a splitter 3.5mm trs to Y 1/4” split. I’m Hesitant to just use a cheap Hosa splitter. I’m afraid it will lessen the quality of my signal and make my expensive snake basically garbage at that point.
does anyone have any recommendations on what cable or splitter to use in this situation?

I've never had problems with Hosa cables. You are not going to get large wires into a 3.5mm jack anyway - there's not much room to solder the connections. I think most are around 22-24 gauge no matter the brand. You can opt for gold plated tips but the wires are never gold plated.

I use a Hosa stereo 1/4" to two mono 1/4" cable, and run it into a rack mixer for my in ear monitors. It works great for me

Is there any advantage or disadvantages of using the headphone jack vs the monitor outs left and right?
The main outs and the headphone out carry the same exact signal - same tone.

I’m referring to monitor outs. Not main outs

I believe same signal (it's a monitor) unless you turn off cab sim. Stick your ears in and find out for yourself. Just make sure "monitor" volume is turned down and unlinked from the other volumes.
