tl;dr, best to use mkfs.ext3, mkfs.ext4, etc

Interesting. I've usually just used mke2fs -j. From the man page:
-j Create the filesystem with an ext3 journal.
That only specifies the journal, not anything else. But then, I thought
that was the primary difference. Reading further in the man page, it
mentions that the default is dependent on the /etc/mke2fs.conf file, so
that is a factor as well.
