The only real difference between the two is the format, length, and content.

The Vinyl version has two side length tracks (the B side ending in a locked groove), has a run time of just over half an hour, and was what GY!BE presented to Constellation when they were trying to get signed, along with All Lights Fucked. The CD version has 3 tracks (including one that is over 45 minutes long), was released on Kranky, and includes extended cuts of material found on the Vinyl.

I would recommend that you listen to both versions, and come to your own conclusions. Personally, having heard both, I prefer the Vinyl version, and find the CD version tends to drag towards the end, but I am by no means the highest authority. Either way, both versions are quite strong, and both are worth your time.
