In InnoDB, transaction compliance with ACID requirements is said to be
greater.  Then again, managing tablespaces is more cumbersome than file-
based tables, and there aren't as many "goodies" available, like
geospatial queries for MyISAM.   So, I agree, it is the same either way.
The long term "elephant in the living room" is whether or not Oracle
will somehow influence InnoDB licensing or architecture in some
nefarious way.  But, in that case, switching from InnoDB back to MyISAM
is pretty direct.
