There is no diffference.

These are aliases for the same thing, created as a courtesy to those who want to 'read' the header as a sentance. For example, try  

CREATE PROCEDURE abc AS (vs) CREATE PROCEDURE abc IS

PROCEDURE abc IS (vs) PROCEDURE abc AS

Since they are aliases, you are free to use either as you feel comfortable.
