For me GT4 mostly suffers from a sort of blurry image, just like some other games (for example Grandia 3 or Dragon Quest 8). For these games I find it better to use a higher internal resolution because it sharpens the whole image a bit.
Generally with 4x MSAA the image quality concerning the polygon edges is a bit better than using a quadrupled internal res. On the other hand a higher internal res treats the whole image while MSAA works on polygon edges exclusively.
Other than in PC games where MSAA is usually much faster than using a higher resolution, the difference doesn't seem to bit that high in PCSX2.
To put it shortly: Imo it depends on the game whether it is better to use MSAA or a higher internal resolution.
I've taken a few screenshots of Grandia 3 in order to demonstrate what I stated. From left to right it is: 1280*960 without AA / 1280*960 with 4xAA / 2560*1920 (without AA). Especially pay attention to the pillars on the left.
