Hi, Here is some information below about each of them. if you look on google you can get more details but i basically did the work for you below.

ISO files
are a standardized format of file, with a particular sector size. Pretty much any disc that doesn't have some weird-oh physical characteristics or protection can be stored as an ISO

MDS/MDF files
are VERY different. This format can keep track of PHYSICAL characteristics of the disc. This includes subchannel data, physical disc errors (i.e. copy protection), etc.
