In my (admittedly limited) experience from an electronic PoV, they're
pretty much of a muchness. Where things differ is in the mechanical
aspects; Some devices fit more snugly than others, meaning they're less
prone to suffer momentary loss of contact which can result in data
corruption or loss. Such a phenomenon may be rare amongst USB devices,
but is more noticeable with other connector types (SD cards, etc.) when
it's sometimes difficult to get the card recognised, due to having poor
electrical contact.
