I use PS fonts for everything (and can avoid Windows-specific fonts) because I have Adobe Type Manager under Win98SE. (Later versions of Windows read PS, yes?) I also convert my custom/customized TT fonts (using Font Creator 5) to PS (with the ttf2 and refont programs). I go through all that because some print shops I work with are legacy Mac, and they get all righteous when they see TT in the font listings. Anything that doesn't work immediately gets blamed on TT, so I can avoid the font-finger-pointing arguments by embedding PS fonts for them. Then they take me more seriously. :) But practically I've never seen any difference in the output between my lasers or inkjets, or from the shops running Macs vs. places like Mailboxes or Staples running Windows.
