Both are flavours of MPEG2 and both probably represent the bitstream image coming straight off the camera.

Now for the bad news... Unless you have a pretty good spec PC then neither is the way to edit HDV video. You are editting MPEG2 and so the PC has to build each frame when it needs to display it. You should convert to a non compressed format and use that for editting.
