What is the difference between hole mounted components and surface
mounted components?
Which is better?

True at a basic level, but not at high frequencies. Bob noted lower
parasitics, and that's important in high speed interconnects (in fact,
even 0603 has high parasitics when presented with 2.5Gb/s pairs). For
really high speed stuff (up to 10Gb/s pairs) we're moving to 0201 and
even 01005 for things like series caps and pullups.
I agree with you that in a lot of cases, you choose what you prefer
(or need for the product), though.

Right, but 1GHz and up has never been done with through-hole parts.
Thanks everyone for your extremely quick and well detailed responses.
I was just wondering as I am just starting out with my electronics
hobby and was
wondering if learning to make PCB's is worth my time or if i should
just use surface
mounted.
