What HD is faster in terms of my day to day use:

Western Digital 80 GB EIDE ULTRA DMA 100, 7200 RPM, 8 MB buffer with 8.9 ms seek time
-or-
MAXTOR 60 GB EIDE ULTRA ATA 133, 7200 RPM, 8 MB buffer, with 9.3 ms seek time.

Thanks and why would one be faster than another?

With out some kind of benchmark utility I doubt you'd ever be able to tell the 2 apart. I'd choose the one that is a better value, GB per $.
