The 1080 image has more lines of data & resolution so more details can be seen.
Almost all HD Stations use 720. But BluRay and HD-DVD players are coming out that can output 1080 so if you are purchasing a new, primary HDTV, I suggest you get one that is 1080 internal.

First i want to correct one of the people that answered. EDTV is 480P, HDTV is 720P, 1080i, and 1080P.
Second, for TV broadcasts you will have three signals: 480i, 720P, and 1080i. I have not heard of any major TV company going to 1080P yet.
When you have a 1080P signal on a 1080P TV, well what can i say the darn picture is awsome. Best image you can get. But some of the 1080P TV's look really bad with a 480i signal. Even 720P tv's have this effect, once again though it all depends on that tv.

It is a measure of resolution.
1080p = High Def (HDTV)
720p = Enhanced Def (EDTV)
480p = Standard Def (regular TV)

It's 720 and 1080. 1080 is better. It's a higher resolution...sharper picture.
