USB:
Pros: Usually easier to put the adapter where it will pick up a better signal.
You don't need to open up your PC. Usually cheaper.
Cons: Uses more CPU time. Can be slow if only a USB1.1 port.

PCI:
Pros: Less CPU time used than USB.
Cons: Some other PCI cards (such as TV tuners) can cause interference on the
wifi card.

Hope that helps somewhat
