As I understand it, the former is for shorter margin notes, the latter for use with paragraph-sized notes. There is also \startmarginblock ... \stopmarginblock and it exceed my ConTeXt user powers to be able to tell you the difference. My guess is, that this type of margin note is a block, which maybe enjoys features of textblocks...? But I, too, would be interested to understand the difference in any detail. I also use margin notes extensively (or at least hope the final version of my document will be able to), but as of now, there seems to be no way to float margin notes to the top/bottom of the page and no way to prevent longer notes, attached to a line near the bottom of a page, to exceed the margin and be typeset even beyond the page boundaries... (Forgive me, if I'm wrong).
