I think you meant to ask for a comparison of HTML and XHTML. If so,
the main difference now is that XHTML tags have been changed slightly
so that they conform more closely to the format required for an XML
based language.
I chose to write my web site using XHTML because W3C told me it was
the modern thing to do <http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/>.
Since then I have
discovered that my decision was controversial
<http://www.hixie.ch/advocacy/xhtml>.
I don't regret my decision but
you can justify staying with HTML by using Ian Hickson's arguments.
