Thanks, didn't know that this makes a difference.  In that case both
variants are on par.

    BEGIN;
    
    CREATE FUNCTION format_with_parse_type(text)
    RETURNS text
    LANGUAGE plpgsql
    STABLE STRICT
    AS $$
    DECLARE
        p record := parse_type($1);
    BEGIN
        RETURN format_type(p.typid, p.typmod);
    END
    $$;
    
    CREATE FUNCTION format_with_to_regtypmod(text)
    RETURNS text
    LANGUAGE plpgsql
    STABLE STRICT
    AS $$
    BEGIN
        RETURN format_type(to_regtype($1), to_regtypmod($1));
    END
    $$;
    
    COMMIT;
