For all practical purposes....None.

The only difference is which toolkit it uses to run.

The GTK version will look better, particularly if it uses GTK2 where it'll come under the influence of Red Hat's "Bluecurve" visual style (the only good thing and the only thing I miss about Red Hat. You can emerge Bluecurve under Gentoo but without the hacked GTK/KDE it isn't the same) but otherwise, they'll function identically.
