very good question
no definitive answer, but a clue
start/stop cycles cause greater wear than continuous use, but PWM effective slows the pump, rather than discrete stop/start cycles
reduced voltage applies the reduction continuously
I'd prefer voltage reduction, but not sure there is a difference
I will investigate
