There is no difference.
A batter is out when:
...his third strike is uncaught because he was hit by the pitch (swinging or called). The ball is dead. 6.05(f) OBR
There is no distinction here regarding a bouncing pitch.
If the (lousy, swung at) pitch hits the catcher first, this is a different situation, dropped third strike, ball still live, BR can try for first (no interference unless BR intentionally contacts ball or catcher).
