Greg - One point which may not be entirely clear is that you 
may not have much choice.  

SQL Links provides direct "native" access to certain 
Client/Server systems: Oracle, Sybase, Informix, MS SQL 
Server, InterBase and DB2.  If you need to work with anything 
else, SQL Links won't help.

ODBC provides a less direct access to a very wide range of 
database systems, most of which are _not_ Client/Server.  See 
the other responses for discussion of the performance and 
possible problems of some ODBC drivers. 

Another difference is that SQL Links is a Borland product; 
ODBC drivers are made by a number of third parties -- not by 
Borland.
