The only difference I could imagine is whether or not it takes advantage of 64-bit instructions on Windows (I know it does on Linux and OS X). If you have a 64 bit processor (and most modern machines do), you might gain some benefit by running Linux.

BTW, I should also point out that while setting up a baseline profile H.264 codec in Handbrake will produce a quality video, it won't necessarily produce a perfect video. There are many, many options available in Handbrake you can use to fine-tune your converted video towards perfection. As gregoranderson pointed out, there are documents available which go into greater detail about this process.
