Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 628/J)

There is no difference between the two salams of Alaihis Salaam and Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam, but the later is better and more comprehensive as it includes both; Salam (peace) and Salah (prayer):

قال في حاشیة فتح الملھم 1/110 عن السندي في حاشیتہ: قال الجزري في مفتاح الحصن في آخرہ: الجمع بین الصلاة والسلام اولی، ولو اقتصر علی احدھما جاز من غیر کراھة۔
