Either will work for .bat files.

The short answer is yes.

The long answer is either will work with a batch file but Run Program> will give you some control by using RP_WAIT and RP_WINDOWMODE where ExecuteFile> will simply execute the batch file with no other control available. Look in help to see how these functions work and what RP_WAIT and RP_WINDOWMODE can do when using Run Program>.
