I don't use either phpmailer or Swift Mailer, but here is what I see and hope I'm not wrong.
PHPmailer uses mail() function of PHP while Swift Mailer uses SMTP, which is the mail server, but the good thing that you can use mail server from gmail instead of your own; however, if you don't implement your code right, you won't take advantage of google's mail server.
Hope this help
