Great.

The former is generic (not limited to x86), whereas the latter is
specific to x86 and is required for 32-bit builds on x86 (otherwise you
would not get parallelization of the bitslice DES code, the C source for
which uses SSE2 intrinsics).
Since you appear to be on an x86-64 system, these settings work the same
(-msse2 is implied for x86-64 anyway).
Thus, the short answer is: it does not matter.
