Here is a thread that talks about some of the differences.

Personally, I'm in favor of strongly-typed databases in most cases. Not all, mind you, but in those cases where you know the schema of the dataset at design time, I can't think of a reason not to use them.

If you go a little further down this path, you'll also get into the DataSet vs Custom Entity Classes argument. Check the following link for an exhaustive discussion.
