The difference is this:

The 'lite' version only collapses whitespace between HTML tags.

The 'aggressive' version collapses all whitespace, even where it does not occur between HTML tags.

There is no performance impact when using one over the other.

The difference is the output... the aggressive can remove more... but if you have people posting things like guitar tablature then the whitespace needed for formatting that is changed and it ruins it.

Because the lite version only touches the space between HTML, the lite version wouldn't affect that.

It just depends how much you want to remove
