Actual mechanical accuracy, there should be no difference. But of course, if you use iron sights the longer sight radius is always a help.
Still as mentioned, the shorter tube is easier to tote (though they weigh only a bit less) and they do, for me, handle better.
Which ever you go with, look into doing a Happy Trigger from Wild West Guns, and as long as you are in there, change the ejector to one of their Bear Proof Ejectors. I doubt you need the ejector upgrade, but I just like the one piece better. It makes reassembly a bit easier after cleaning. Plus, you then have a spare.
If you're not a fan of the crossbolt safety (useless as tits on a boar in my opinion) there are several ways to either deactivate it or remove it.
