I believe the hard tension can be louder and have less displacement. Hard tension is great for low G flurocarbon strings (less floppy than light or medium tension). I found Worth HD much better for me than Med on my Kanile'a concert.
 
I believe hard tension can be sore on the fingers, while soft tension is not.
 
Hard tension strings are more responsive to picking; it'll also make tremolo picking and harmonics easier. I prefer them.
