BFGMiner vs. CGMiner

Question

What is the difference between BFGMiner and CGMiner in Laymen's terms?

Also, the longterm outcome will be exactly the same if mining is done with or without a pool, correct?

bfgminer is a fork of cgminer. bfgminer allows the use of Get Block Template (less trust in the pool), but they're otherwise functionally the same.
