Is there any difference between mass granted by the Higg's mechanism versus mass granted by the Strong force?

Forgive my terminology, but as I understand it, the Higg's field creates mass for elementary particles, but the vast majority of mass we see is a result of the strong force holding together bundles of quarks and nucleons.  How is it that these 2 seemingly different mechanisms result in something that on our scale look like exactly the same thing?  Does mass created by the strong force interact with the Higg's field?  Does mass created by the Higg's field interact with the curvature of spacetime?

No, there is no difference.

Because both mechanisms are doing the same thing: confining energy. The strong force confines the energy of particles with color charge into a small amount of space, and the Higgs mechanism confines the energy of particles that interact with the Higgs into a small amount of space. In both cases, mass essentially results from the relation E=mc^2 , by virtue of the respective forces confining energetic particles and thus giving them some average rest frame. 

An advanced undergraduate-level exercise, which might help, is to show that a photon trapped in a massless mirror-box has an effective mass given by E=mc^2 . It doesn't matter what forces hold the mirror-box together; what matters is that energy is confined.
