Quick RSS Feed Submission Question

I've submitted lots of feeds in the past, both manually and with software(RSS Bot). Today I decided to buy RSS Submit and am just about to submit a feed from a new site.

In the past, I have usually just submitted it like this - www.mysite.com/feed, but I'm wondering if it's better to submit the Feedburner url instead - http://feeds.feedburner.com/mysitename? Does it actually make any difference? This is something I just haven't really thought about before, even though I have usually used Feedburner to create feeds I know with Feedburner I can track subscribers and such, and I know the content displayed from the Feedburner feed url is presented in a more eye-catching way. I just don't know if they are two separate things, or one and the same.

Any help and advice much appreciated

    Submitting RSS with your site in is excellent if you are SEO wise, of course, if you are using wordpress then you could track your subscribers through some rss plugin but I will advise using www.yoursite.com/feed. It's far way better

      I am using Wordpress, but you think submitting the simple mysite.com/feed is the best way? Can you explain a little further?

        OK, I've done lots of searching(both here and Google) and it seems I can redirect my regular feed to my Feedburner one using a Wordpress plugin(FD Feedburner Plugin). This sounds like a good way of doing things, but still leaves me a tad confused Do any of you do this, and does this still mean I'd be submitting mysite.com/feed to the RSS agreggators? From what I can gather, when somebody clicks the RSS icon on my site, they will be taken to the Feedburner version of the feed because of the redirect. Again, any help much appreciated
