Obviously the latter -- which is why one is yotzei either way. However, in
terms of reliving what Hillel did and saying "this is what he did", I would
think there is some value to getting as close as possible.

But to be honest, this wasn't my motivator. I used soft matzah last year for a
simpler reason -- it got my children anticipating having matzah! (Their father
too, although I actually like hand-made shemurah crackers...)
