According to comments in the code

*AutoPreferredGapSpring*
Spring reprensenting the distance between any number of sources and
targets.  The targets and sources are computed during layout.  An
instance of this can either be dynamically created when
autocreatePadding is true, or explicitly created by the developer.

*GapSpring*
Spring represented a certain amount of space.

so they have really different functionality.
