Is there any difference than having to use slightly different wiring for the one with pci-e connections and the one with screw down?

Don't think so...the ones with pci-e are super easy to set up tho.

They have different firmwares on them, but they are easy to update.

no real difference. both methods just provide 12V power. If you have 2 seperate PCI leads from your PSU use them.

I have modified server PSUs, so I just run some nice thick 14AWG cable to the screw terminals and its both simple and cost effective

24" PCI-E cables with 16AWG wires and stripped ends - great for server PSU mods, best prices https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=563461
