Bill give a pretty thorough overview. For general use, it often comes down to personal preference and comfort level. I have both liquid and compressed fuels stoves. In winter I prefer white gas, but for short suymmer trips and car-camping, I almost always grab the MSR SuperFly canister stove.

To add to the confusion, there are a couple stoves that can burn both liquid and compressesed fuels. (Not to be confused with most "multi-fuel" stoves which just burn various liquid fuels). The one that pops to mind is the Primus OmniFuel. And Coleman has announced that their new Fyrestorm stoves will burn either white gas or compressed gas from standard Lindahl-valved canisters. The Coleman stoves are supposed to be available later this spring.
