There is no fundamental difference. \addlyrics picks the context to
attach to automagically based on syntax. It may make a bad choice.
\lyricsto gets the context to attach to named explicitly, so it is more
reliable and can be used in more circumstances.
As a handwavy rule, for simple stuff with lyrics, \addlyrics may be
fine. If you have more complicated settings, \lyricsto may be the safer
choice.
