Well...


One is dry, while the other is not quite as dry and is usually found in liquid form. :D

Dry yeasts are granular packets and the few strains available are suited for many beers. Many homebrewers are finding the less costly dry packets are a great yeast for most of their brews. Liquid yeasts come in a lot wider variety and are usually more specifically designed for a particular beer.

I use dry in most my beers (pale ales, american wheats, IPA's, pilsner styles). I use specific liquid strains for beers that really derive their flavor from the yeast (Belgian Wit, New Castle, Irish Ale for my Stout, Weiss...)
