TCP/IP tells the Ethernet driver what kind of frame type to use and 99.99% percent of TCP/IP implementations tell the driver to use Ethernet II, which is the frame format that has Dest Src Type. This is also known as arpa in the Cisco world.
Is this what you were looking for, though? Or were you looking for a comparison of IP with IPX and a comparison of SPX with TCP, which I could write lots about too. ;-) One main difference between SPX and TCP, by the way, is that SPX is not used much. It's used by RCONSOLE for remote administration and some SNA gateways. Some printing services may use it. But most printing, file sharing, etc. uses NetWare Core Protocol (NCP) which runs directly above IPX. TCP, on the other hand, plays a major role in it stack. Many protocols run above TCP, including FTP, HTTP, Telnet, SMTP, POP, LDAP, BGP, and others.
