Essays usually inject more of the author's opinions and emotions. Articles are more fact based and offer only generic or "public" opinions. Here's a website that shows essay writing step-by-step. It has printouts and lots of good essay-related resources:

I prefer essays. They are brief, precise, and you can articulate what you want to express without being bound by length.
