Thomas & Walter: They both handle both Markdown and Textile because  
RedCloth parses both. There will be zero impact on user experience.

Reiner: the only difference appears to be hard breaks:

def markdown(text)
   RedCloth.new(text).to_html
end

def textilize(text)
   if text.blank?
     ""
   else
     textilized = RedCloth.new(text, [ :hard_breaks ])
     textilized.hard_breaks = true if textilized.respond_to? 
("hard_breaks=")
     textilized.to_html
   end
end

:hard_breaks means one newline is a <br/> and two makes a paragraph
