As far as I can tell, the differences between
rollback and undo are
that a) rollback shows up in the page history and user contribution
histories as well as diffs; b) rollback doesn't require you to hit
"save" a second time; c) rollback is easier to make mistakes with
because you can undo more than one diff at a time (i.e. everything by
an author). Am I missing anything?

No to point A (rollback and undo both show up in contributions/history, just
like every other edit, I'm 95% sure of this). Yes to point B. No to point
C (you can undo multiple edits too by viewing a diff page that has unshown
intermediate diffs). AFAIK all that "undo" does is act like you clicked the
"edit" link on the older diff displayed and fills in a default edit summary.
Um, to be clear, I meant under point a) that a *link* to rollback
shows up in the page history and contribution histories, whereas a
link to undo only shows up in when you're comparing diffs. Thus, the
rollback link is easier to get to. Changes made with either button do
indeed show up as normal edits. Sorry about unclear wording...
Anyway, thanks everyone for your feedback.
