OLEDB seems to be slightly faster under load, nothing much in it though under normal conditions.
ODBC drivers can apparantly suffer from memory leaks under certain circumstances. Although I've never really seen any evidence of this using SQL server. OLEDB handles dates and boolean fields slightly differently at times (perhaps other data types too?), converting sites that use ODBC can be a pain. I've used both quite bit, and still don't have a preference. If I was trying to decide which to use for a new site, then I would probably go with ODBC as I know it better and find it easier.
