Yes, prefer to avoid canned object files and use YAML/assembly/IR (roughly from most to least preferred) instead. This allows you to annotate the bits of the input that are specifically important for the test, so that future maintainers know what they should/should not change if updating tests, and also to see changes over time. It also avoids permanent binary blobs in the git history, which helps with the repo size (the first binary might sometimes be smaller than the input asm etc, but the cumulative effect of updates won't be).
