Not much out there on the differences, but I did find one link that might illuminate the difference. Based on what I've found, it looks like the real difference is in how each is used by WCF.

Based on how I read this, I think the Message is used when you have a MessageContract to pass in, whereas Parameters are for types without a MessageContract wrapper, or for DataContracts.
