Converting iPhone .mov to .mp4

So I have a .mov iPhone video (1080p 30fps). Client wants mp4. Is there a quality benefit to using Handbrake instead of a simple Export-to-mp4 from QuickTime Player 7? If so, is Handbrake the best (resolution quality) conversion solution? (I heard it described on a forum as lossless.) Thanks.

Your client doesn't know much about video codecs.

In the Finder just duplicate the file and on the duplicate change the file extension from .mov to .mp4.

Renaming to .mp4 works in this case, because modern QuickTime .MOV files and .MP4 files conform to the exact same specifications. For most intents and purposes, they are the same.
