I'm curious as to which would be the preferred print
functionality? 
I've noticed both options but can't really tell much
difference in the 
quality of the output.

The GTK+ print system doesn't deal with driving the
printers, it is only
a user interface on top of your print system. Under the
hood, this
system is most likely using Gutenprint printer drivers (at
least for
inkjet type of printers). So it doesn't really matter from a
quality of
output point of view. The Gutenprint plug-in perhaps gives
you a little
more control over the output, the "official" GIMP
Print plug-in is
probably easier to use.
