There shouldn't be any PPD difference. PPD is determined by how fast a core works and they use the same cores. The clients do not use a significant amount of CPU.

I don't know enough about the assignment process of the two clients to know. I'm told yes, but I don't know why. For example: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=21831&start=75#p225322

There are some projects that can only be assigned to V7.

As far as PPD is concerned, all projects use the same benchmarking procedures, as P5-133XL has said, except, of course, if you have hardware that isn't supported by V6 where you would be getting 0 ppd.
