there is no difference,

although in both cases the <br /> tag is incorrect and is not required

Theoretically your top example might be ever so slightly better as there's less characters (in this case only line break characters) between your content.

But really, you'd be far better off investing the same amount of time that you would do to make this change in working on your content.

[g1smd]

As above, the <br> tag is not required. The <p> ... </p> tag pair explicitly have white space above and below the paragraph.

If you need that white space to be bigger, then use CSS to alter the top and/or bottom margin or border properties of those paragraphs.

Are those links? If they are, you are better off creating an unordered list than paragraphs, even if they are all on one line, and styling as suggested for your spacing.
