The difference is negligible, but it is important to be aware that a difference does exist. We're talking nano watts of power with many integrated circuits, (increased thermal dissipation is negligible) but if we were to turn the subject into say watts then difference could become very significant.

Whats MTFB? Im guessing mean time before failure and yeah, they seem to last quite a long time.
Im not that concerned about heat. My pinball is probably the hottest place they will go and that should never go above about 30 degrees even on a hot day (yeah, our hot days are about 15 degrees!)
The on/off count i expect to be high while testing things. I always put safety switches on to cut the power to the whole playfield as soon as you lift it up and i do tend to turn things on and off a lot when im testing (maybe a few times a minute). Once everythings up and running i expect they will stay on most of the time (might turn it off at night).
How do i take care of I/Os? All my outputs will go directly into some driver chips and the inputs will go to switches with a 10K grounding resistor. Is that fine?
Whats cool startup?
