<< While both will do a good job of cooling down a greenhouse,

And swamp coolers reduce the need for watering. You can use tap water to
operate the swamp cooler. If you can not use your tap water for watering
your plants, utilizing a swamp cooler will reduce the amount of water you
must generate / collect / buy.
