sealed-the bearings are "sealed" in a casing
unsealed-the bearing are exposed
personally i like unsealed better because i get clean and grease the bearings better so its faster but sealed is quieter and smoother so it really depends what u want and dont try to grease or use WD40 on an unsealed headset.

Yeah, sealed is really smooth. Kinda of different for barspins and stuff but incredibly smooth.
Unsealed is really quick and fast, not as smooth but faster than a sealed.
If you are a tailwhipper and do tons of tailwhips, you would probably want a real good sealed headset. Just so that the bearings don't break and get ungreased.
