Is there a difference between doing a shutdown via Ubuntu's GUI versus doing a "sudo shutdown now" from the terminal? I ask this as I notice that my machines take longer to shutdown if I shutdown via the GUI.

Did you mean sudo shutdown -h now?

Anyways, as long as you use this ^^^ command, there should be no difference.

It probably takes longer to shut down from GUI since it has to kill the X server and such, whilst if shutting down from CLI they are already dead.
