For simple use it doesn't matter. Use a class when you want to add more state or behaviour - for example you might want a flag that tells the thread to stop, or a Queue to communicate with the thread. A class might be more convenient in these cases. IOW if you can write it as a single function it doesn't matter much which form you use; for more complex usage you may want a class.
