Is there any real difference to screen reader users (or any users really) whether i use "image" rather than "submit" as the type attribute for my form submission button?
eg:
<input type="submit" value="Submit!" />
vs
<input type="image" src="myButtonImage.jpg" value="Submit!" alt="Submit!" />

<button> is newer than <input type="submit"> , is more semantic, easy to stylize and support HTML inside of it.
Difference between <button type="submit"> and <input type="submit"> Both <button type="submit"> and <input type="submit"> display as buttons and cause the form data to be submitted to the server. The difference is that <button> can have content, whereas <input> cannot (it is a null element).
A 'button' is just that, a button, to which you can add additional functionality using Javascript. A 'submit' input type has the default functionality of submitting the form it's placed in (though, of course, you can still add additional functionality using Javascript).
Nope, they're essentially the same.
See: Using 'button' and images for submit. Just make sure to always give the image submit alt text.
