EIDE is better, it actually stands for Enhanced IDE. However, anything that you get nowadays is EIDE. They stopped making "regular" IDE back with the 486's if I remember correctly. I think my first Pentium 100 had EIDE.
The terms probably get confused now, I don't think anyone actually refers to EIDE as EIDE anymore, they just call it IDE.
