  The latter.

 Not necessarily: see
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mann%E2%80%93Whitney_U>: "Under the null
hypothesis the distributions of both groups are equal"; so you could in
principle reject the null distribution because their distributions were
different (e.g. different variance, skew), even if their location
parameters (mean/median/etc) were the same.  (But see farther down on
the page, "Different distributions" for more nuanced interpretations)

  I'd go with the permutation test for convincing readers/reviewers that
the results were robust; however, at least at some point you might be
interested in saying something about the biological meaning of the
among-lineage variance ...
