There is not going to be any difference. Most integrated circuits are made both in SMT and DIP8 packages. The parts are identical. For a stompbox we are talking milliamps of power here.
SMT is more the domain of big electronics manufacturers not the hobbyist or boutique builder.
It is a whole lot harder to build using SMT because the parts are so tiny to work with and you need a different type of soldering station. And most of all you need much better lighting and better eyesight.
Assuming you are good with a soldering iron there is no advantage either way.
