they are basically the same thing
man telinit -
DESCRIPTION
telinit may be used to change the SysV system runlevel. Since the
concept of SysV runlevels is obsolete the runlevel requests will be
transparently translated into systemd unit activation requests.
man init -
DESCRIPTION
systemd is a system and service manager for Linux operating systems.
When run as first process on boot (as PID 1), it acts as init system that
brings up and
maintains userspace services.
For compatibility with SysV, if systemd is called as init and a PID that
is not 1, it will execute telinit and pass all command line arguments
unmodified.
That means init and telinit are mostly equivalent when invoked from
normal login sessions. See telinit(8) for more information.
When run as a system instance, systemd interprets the configuration file
system.conf and the files in system.conf.d directories; when run as a user
instance, systemd interprets the configuration file user.conf and the files in
user.conf.d directories. See systemd-system.conf(5) for more information.
so you could save three keystrokes by calling init itself
