Power-wise, not much, except for the fact that their spiritual essence is far more potent than a normal soul. But their spiritual power has a stronger "ordering" effect than most souls, because they are "gods of balance". For example, if a Sozoshin were to enter a Garganta space, the chaotic torrent of reishi would almost immediately begin to calm down and form a path way for the Sozoshin simply by being there, whereas a normal soul would need to concentrate their spiritual power and exert it outward to slow the reishi down enough to form a path. Ichigo's spiritual power fluctuated a lot and he had poor control of it, meaning he could only keep the reishi "calm" for only moments at a time, which is why his path was breaking apart the longer he went down it. Unohana, on the other hand, could create a perfect uniform path with her masterful reiatsu control. A Sozoshin would not need to do this, because their spiritual essence is instinctively geared toward "order".
