Purists will prefer hops for beer in leafs. But pellets are actually hop cones compressed to make them a little more convenient to use for brewing. In fact, they dilute rather well in liquid and settle more easily than cones. They are very practical for cold hopping, as they fall to the bottom, into the lees, after distributing their essential oils to the beer. Cones, on the other hand, should preferably be integrated into a filter. Whether cone or pellet hops, there are no significant differences in bitterness or aroma. Only use differs slightly.
