Umbraco.Content() will return a dynamic DynamicPublishedContent object. Similar to using CurrentPage.
Umbraco.Typed.Content() will return a strongly typed IPublishedContent, similar to using Model.Content.
TLDR: You should always use IPublishedContent. It's more performant and offers intellisense in Visual Studio. Especially awesome when used with Modelsbuilder.
There is a great explanation of why Dynamics should be avoided in the Developers Reference -> Common Pitfalls
If you want some more info see Strongly typed vs Dynamic Content Acces on 24 days in umbraco, it's a few years old but gives a good overview of the difference. Notice that modelsbuilder ships with Umbraco (since version 7.4) so you don't have to install it.
Thanks for clarifying. Sure... I remember the Modelsbuilder, I guess my confusion started when it was added to the core. :-) Now it all makes sense.
You know, sometimes a basic function can be annoyingly confusing.
Difference between content and typedcontent
Just wondering. Whats the difference between TypedContent and Content? Is there any performance difference?

This stackoverflow post is also quite good :)
Hope that helps
All the best

Umbraco.Typed.Content() is actually Umbraco.TypedContent()
Thanks.

True..
And sometimes a basic function can be deceptively complex ;)
You're so very welcome!
