Actually, these two are not the same, in particular the spacing is very different. I ran into this problem just a few days ago: With {...}, when lilypond decides on the space between the words, the spaces between the words was a too tight, so it was hard to tell words apart and read the text. With "...", the width of the spaces seems to be taken from the font and the text is much more readable... As an example, look at the attached test case, where the second title line (using {...} for the markup) is way too tighly spaced and thus hard to read. I had an even worse case, but I can't remember or reproduce now.
