No difference for the most part. The only difference is if you want
to pass multiple parameters to it, which most people don't do anyway.
>From the manual on echo:

"echo() is not actually a function (it is a language construct), so
you are not required to use parentheses with it. echo() (unlike some
other language constructs) does not behave like a function, so it
cannot always be used in the context of a function. Additionally, if
you want to pass more than one parameter to echo(), the parameters
must not be enclosed within parentheses."
