Use env if you want maximum flexibility across different machines. It will find where the first python in the PATH lives and use it. Use a hard path if you have multiple pythons installed and it matters which one is used. But be aware that a hard path may not work on another machine or OS version. And neither makes any difference on a non-Unix based OS.
