Compiz is the upstream original, Beryl is a fork.
Compiz uses gconf which is pretty standard and works well with gnome obviously, Beryl uses flat file.
Beryl has (had?) some additional plugins, but plugins are being written for compiz all the time as well, look at compiz-extras.
Beryl has a theme manager, compiz uses cairo, metacity, or KDE themes.
They look the same to me but Compiz just seems to be the better integrated of the two.
And as of the last version, compiz had a horrid configuration (read almost none) for the different plugins, etc.
That needs to be fixed. I like the GREAT configurability of Beryl.
