With '--rebuild' you never take the .src.rpm package apart.  With '-ba'
you would have 'installed' the .src.rpm file and you have a chance
to inspect the spec file, and make any changes to it if needed, in which
case you would have bumped the release number and added a changelog entry. 
Then you have a new .src.rpm file as well.  Otherwise there is no
difference.

cheers, etc.
