GL_LINES vs GL_QUADS with glPolygonMode GL_LINE

Yet another likely dumb question. Please forgive my ignorance but I was
wondering: 

I have to draw a mesh consisting of lots and lots of quads. 

Is there a performance difference between drawing the lines of this
mesh using GL_LINES or GL_LINE_LOOP versus calling GL_QUADS with a
glPolygonMode of glPolygonMode(GL_FRONT, GL_LINE) and culling the
backside?

Note that I am using glDisplayLists in any case to execute the final
result. 

I know the amount of data sent to the card is slightly different but
does that matter?

Best regards and thanks for your insightful comments
