It's exactly the same. Try to forget, if you can, the fact that image-update used to always create a new boot environment, and install never did. Now, both will do so if necessary, and only if necessary. That necessity is determined by whether any actions tagged with reboot-needed are being updated and the operation is being done on the live root. Thus, if image-update would only bring you a new version of the compilers and openoffice, it won't bother with a new BE, but if you say "pkg install ent...@new-build", then you'll get a new boot environment. You kinda have to know in advance whether a new boot environment will be created to know whether the --be-name option will be useful.
