Well - one is cheaper than the other. The opterons will give you a very slight speed advantage at the cost of burning a hole in your wallet. Most people don't think it's worth the extra cost.
If you're looking to realistically go the rackmount way, then 1U and 2U opteron boards are the only way to go. 4Us which can fit a regular Athlon but take up 4 spaces on a rack.
I don't have the spec here, but it was pretty standard fare, regular nforce MB with onboard video. Not sure what the cooling is but it seems to do the job since they have been running at 100% for a few months now.
