The difference is in the type of variable you are binding it to.  A project variable is a variable that lives within the specific project in which it was created.  A PSP URL is an address using the Publish-Subscribe Protocol (PSP).  You can learn more about PSP URLs here: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361G-01/lvconcepts/using_datasocket_technology/#Specifyin...

 

PSP URLs will enable it to communicate between different machines and also between projects which may or may not be open.  The project variable will exist within the project.
