I would agree with Philly. They both turn on the screen, and until/unless you open the device, then turn the screen off in a few seconds. I use tap, since I pick up and move my iPhone a lot at work as I move between places, so it would seem then that I just tap when I need to unlock the device. I don't see that either one would really consume more battery than the other.
