Why would there be a difference ?

Let me try to explain...

let's say that on you system you have a script named myjackscript.sh that
you use to launch jack. Ardour works just fine if you launch jack with it.

Now let's say you rename the script to myjackdbusscript.sh and try to play
with ardour again...

Would would there be a difference ?

The jackd binary and jackdbus are just launchers. The JACK server is
inside libjack. it's not because you use a different launcher that regular
jack clients will stop working.
