There isn't a difference. It's just a container. Choose whichever one you would use regularly in post. Mp4 is the more common choice.

2. MOV was initially developed by Apple as a file format for QuickTime
3. MOV is the basis for the development of MP4
4. MP4 is the industry standard and has more widespread support than MOV
