This appears to be a really, really stupid question.
If they are indentical in operation, then ofcourse there will be no
noticeable difference to the user.
One may note that a switch statement is faster, because the condition is
only evaluated once. However you did not ask about the speed difference.

identical conditionals, one written as a switch, the other written as an if,
elseif ... else conditional? I realize that one programmer coming in behind
another might prefer the gentler layout of a switch; but would there be any
perceivable difference, client-side, between the options?
