The only difference is when the user is booted out.

If the user is rejected by the start-commit hook, then nothing
happens in the repository at all.

If the user is booted by the pre-commit hook, then the user has
already built a transaction tree in the repository, and it's only one
step away from becoming a revision. If pre-commit fails, then the
whole repository transaction is aborted.
