I've read one study showing that there is a tiny effect when going from one material to another, so sticking with gold contacts is probably a good idea.
Any Difference Between Gold and Silver RCA/XLR Connector Plugs?
How much of a factor does the type of plating (gold or silver) on RCA and XLR cables play on the overall sonic signature of a cable?
I went ahead and ordered basic Neutrik XLRs with silver contacts without much thought into it. However, the equipment I'm connecting to has gold pins on the outputs and inputs. Is it a better idea (in theory) to use XLR cables with gold pins to match the equipment?
