There doesn't appear to be any difference. I came across this WIKI:

From an SEO perspective a 301 redirect is better. Google will recognize it as a permanent redirect to the target page.

You better be careful with the 301's because they get cached within the browsers. One "wrong move" and your visitors will have to manually clear the cache to resolve the problem.
And yes, from SEO's perspective 301 is better.

i suppose if it was done correctly it would be the same, though you have to be sure that the 301 is being passed in the header, ie
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Location: http://www.example.org/
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 174
Without that, its not a good redirect for SEO
