There isn't really a difference. The attribute node has a few advantages though:
- It allows the use of more than one UV map. The texture Coordinate node uses only the UV map with the camera icon selected.
- It Contains the name, which can be useful for organizational purposes.
Note:
Their is also a UV map node coming into cycles, which will eliminate the need for both of theses methods.

3$\begingroup$ The UV coordinate node actually uses the UV map with the camera icon selected (which is the first one by default). Also there is now a dedicated UV map node (screenshot) which makes using the attribute node for UV maps no longer necessary. $\endgroup$– gandalf3 ♦Jun 26, 2014 at 0:37
