Depends on what displayport version, what HDMI version, what monitor reolution, and what monitor refresh rate.

Which version are we talking about?

Besides daisychaining they are pretty much alike

Nothing, it will work fine with HDMI 1.4 which is what your GPU will have (at the minimum).

No advantage, just can be used for situations where HDMI can't be used (depending on version) such as 4K 60 Hz if you only have HDMI 1.4.

If your monitor's resolution is within the capabilities of both, then there's no difference.
