I've used both with no different effects using one over the other.
I use whichever I can get
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I think the results are the same just depends on which colour you like!
I thought they were both white Maybe I've been putting rice cakes on my seeds
Perlite is white, vermiculite is brown.
By 'topping off' I assume you mean scattering on the tops of pots after seeding. If you put plants outside, that poses the risk that it will blow away so I always use fine grit for that.
