The difference is slight between isEmpty() and isBlank()

isBlank(inputString): Returns true if the specified String is white space, empty (''), or null; otherwise, returns false.

isEmpty(inputString) : Returns true if the specified String is empty ('') or null; otherwise, returns false.

So the isEmpty() function is a subset of isBlank() function.

Usage In case, your check is for a null string or a string which does not contain any value(''), but in your usecase a String having a space is valid then use isEmpty.

If you want to check if your string is null or have no value or have only blank spaces you should use isBlank
