A hinny.
Most of the literature suggests that hinnies are more horse-like, and mules more donkey-like, but I've never been convinced by that. In my experience, hinnies tend to resemble the donkey in build- shorter legs, stockier body, while mules tend to be more like the horse- longer legs, more elegant body, and move more like a horse. Both mules and hinnies seem to lack the well-defined withers of the horse, and tend to be quite narrow through the pelvis like a donkey.
Behaviourally I've found mules to be more flighty like horses, and hinnies more likely to think situations through like a donkey does. My opinion is that this is probably the dam's influence...the mule foal will be raised on the mare, hence more horse-like behaviour, while the hinny foal is raised on the jenny, so is more donkey like.
As the copy-and-paste poster above said, mules tend to be the more common of the two hybrids. This is probably due to the fact that mules generally are bigger, and also that if you're using natural breeding as opposed to AI, jacks seem more willing to mate mares than stallions are to mate jennies.
To all intents and purposes, both genders of both hybrids are sterile, though there have been a few reported (and confirmed) cases of female mules conceiving and carrying normal, healthy foals to term.
If well-raised and well-trained, all are wonderful animals.

Hinny: This is the term used for the hybrid animal produced when the female *** (jennet) is mated to the male horse (stallion) to produce a foal. There are both male hinnies and females. The genetic inheritance of the hinny is exactly the same as the mule. Scientists think that differences in hinnies and mules may be from the result of maternal influences on the fetus, and in the upbringing of the foal. Some hinnies tend to look like horses with long ears, but most cannot be told apart from mules. Untraced animals can not be verified as hinnies. For all purposes, hinnies are classified with mules. Hinnies do not differ from mules in endurance, or other useful traits, but are bred more rarely because the donkey dam tends to make the offspring smaller. Donkeys do not as readily conceive to horse stallion as to donkeys. The equine hybrid is easier to obtain when the lower chromosome count (the donkey) is in the male.
