User controls are asp.net code, written in C#/VB.Net (and can obviously be compiled). A Razor Macro is just a script file, written using the Razor syntax.
Which you use is really a matter of preference. You need to know C#/ASP.Net to code a user control, whereas with Razor, it's a simpler syntax to learn. With Razor, you can also edit the file through the Umbraco UI (whereas with User Controls you need notepad or an IDE).
I'm not sure how much of a difference there is in performance though, I haven't seen any tests to be able to say which is fastest. In most practical terms though, unless you're doing something crazy, the difference between the two should be fairly negligible.
