Currently i did some tests and it shows that the behavior of projection and and nearest surface point is way different. Projection also makes the vertices jumping. I tested it with svn rev34989 and appended an very simple example. Just use the shapekey-slider (Key 1) of the red inner object (something like a muscle) and you will see that the skin is snapping. First nothing, then a jump, followed by a smooth further transition. That is unacceptable for muscles and in many complex cases even worse.
