I own both the 430EX and 580EX II Speedlites and I prefer to use the 430EX on my XTi because the 580EX II is bigger and heavier than the 430EX and makes my rig feel unbalanced and cumbersome. The 430EX has 1 stop less power than the 580EX II and the recharge time is slightly longer, but it is a E-TTL Speedlite and as long as you don't need the extra power of the 580EX II I think you'll be happy with the 430EX. It's a nice little flash unit.
I don't have a 430EX II so can't comment on it.
