Are those maps corrected for multiple comparisons or uncorrected? If corrected, how similar are the uncorrected? When doing a correction, you can get clusters that are just above significance in one analysis and just below sig in the other making it look like there are huge differences. I've looked at a bunch of FDG data comparing spmregister and bbregister and not found a big difference. Having said that, I think that spmregister in general does a better job on smooth images. I wrote my own version (not reliant on matlab or spm) called mri_coreg, which you can get from here
