Same thing as standard.
All it does is lock the tranny in one place.
At least with the e-brake you get better support on up hills and down hills, of course when parked....I guess less stress on the tranny

when you put it in park, i believe the only thing not making your car go anywhere is a little metal plate that somehow blocks it from engaging. i dont know exactly how it works. so an e-brake is pretty nice for that respect.

The only exception is if you just beat the snot out of your brakes. having the hot pads pressed up against the hot rotors allows for uneven cooling, possible mild warping.
