If you’re exporting PDF/X1-a then there is no difference at all… actually, there is: choosing any other compatibility setting makes it not officially PDF/X1-a compliant.

The differences among these settings are really more for PDF/X4 or non-standard PDFs. When I’m not making PDF/X1-a, I almost always choose Acrobat 8/9 (v 1.7) compliance. No reason not to.
