url.content does alot more than just creating an normal href, it takes into context the application's sub/virtual directory, whereas href it's a straight pointer.

for best practice use url.content, this way you know that if your site moves into a sub/virtual directory, your link will still work.

They're quite similar, though Href comes from the ASP.NET WebPages stack. In an MVC context you should use Url.Content.

Href is part of System.Web.WebPages and Url.Content is part of System.Mvc. I think that if you have an MVC app, you'll get both, but some other usages (like webforms) will only have Href available to them.
