There is no difference from processing point of view. Both (Paper & Online) are same.
The ONLY advantages I think of Online app are:
1. You get confirmation Notice right away that u can print (good proof instead of waiting for receipt notice from USCIS)
2. You can minimize Data Entry errors done by USCIS 'Experienced" staff...
. You fill the app urself which directly goes into their system.3. You save 3-4 days in delivery period. If you send by mail it will take 3-4 days for delivery and that will be ur RD, instead online - the date u apply, that date is ur application date.
Disadvantages:
1. need to schedule an appoint at ASC for Biometrics (but this is actually an advantage caz they take the photos and finger prints, so less chance of RFE for photos and finger prints).
Hope it helps...
You better call them again
and findout, coz when i filed my EAD and AP online, due to some programming issue, i got the message not to make an appointment for Bio-Metrics, but after a week got an email saying there was an error and asked me to make an appointment and go to the nearest ASC for Bio Metrics.

The following is from the USCIS website. I guess this explains why you guys got instructions to go to the local office when you filed your iEAD and I didn't when I filed my iAP.
