The HC family stuffs pull rail to rail whereas the ls has a logic zero output that is often above .3 volts, and only pulls to about 3.2 volts for logic 1's. Not a lot of change I hear some say, but the differences in the noise margins can make or break things in a room full of pwm servo motors and current regulated by chopper stepper drives.
