Several, the later will run two independent build processes for the two targets - if subTarget1 and subTarget2 depend on a common target target3, this one will be executed twice, properties set during the execution of subTarget1 (or targets it depends upon) will not be available to subTarget2. Your first version will run all targets at most once, if subTarget1 doesn't depend on subTarget2, it will be executed first. Properties set during the execution of subTarget1 will be available for subTarget2.
