I also can confirm that currently there are only subtle differences as I have both options. My first 2 accounts that I moved to B-Net are on the same B-Net account. My subsequent accounts have all been 1-to-1 (1 wow account to 1 B-Net account).
Having tried both, I personally prefer the 1-to-1 approach for the following reasons:
I can rename each B-Net login to fit the roles I am having that account do at a given time. For example, I own my own domain & I like to be able to rename my accounts:
- Tank@YourDomain.com
- Healer@yd.com
- DPS1@yd.com
- D2@yd.com
- D3@yd.com
Or for my 60 twinks (accounts with no expansions):
- 61@yd.com
- 62@yd.com
...
-6N@yd.com
Or for my 70 twinks(accounts with only the BC expansion):
- 71@yd.com
- 72@md.com
...
-7N@md.com
I also don't like logging into WoW via B*net and then having to pick from my old account names as they are kinda cryptic and I don't know how to rename them (could only choose what was available back then rather than make your own).
I don't view having to log into each B*net account to change options a problem as I rarely do that (mainly to change the email address).
The current potential main down-side I can see is that if I later choose to use the authenticator and there is a cost per B*Net account. I have never been hacked like my buddy has and I think he had to pay per B*net account to add the authenticator.

The above may change if substantial benefits come from keeping them under 1 B*net account like future BOB vs BOA (Bound-on-B*Net-Account vs Bound-on-Account).
