I think it has already been said really. HTTPS is more secure and uses SSL to encrypt sensitive data flow. This is usually seen amongst banks and some major retailers.

The more standard HTTP is common place everywhere and the data sent here is unencrypted text data.

HTTPS will inevitably take longer in performance, loading and operational times due to this added level of encryption and although this is by no means a 100% guarantee it is definitely more secure than the unprotected HTTP.
