I don't know that there's much to it.  Since they're different
implementations, they may well perform differently.  For example, user
ppp has had a lot of work done on it over the years, whereas pppd has
essentially been an unmaintained orphan for the last 3-4 years.  Just
stick with whichever one works best for you.
