The difference is the amount of room that the tea leaves have to open. The more room to tea leaves have to open, the greater amount of surface area on the tea leaf to come in contact with the hot water, the more of the oils and nutrients come out of the tea leaf, the better the tea is in taste and health properties.
Tea baskets work well because the give the tea the space it needs to more fully open and taste its best. The tea spoons and calls tend to be pretty confined so the tea cannot open fully making the tea a bit weaker then it could be.
Tea baskets normally only cost a few dollars more then a tea spoon and are easier to clean.
