To my eyes it's only a very subtle difference, and one could make 
arguments for either of them being nicer than the other.

Since the TIFF images that we deal with are monochrome and not greyscale 
or full-color I suspect that the likelihood of antialiasing actually 
being able to improve image quality would be rather slim... because the 
image renderer isn't capable of softening an edge without simply 
removing portions, rather than "blurring" them slightly.
