The non re badged Plextor drives are supposed to be the best. As for the sonics you probably wont be able to tell much difference. But technically the external should be better for a few reasons.
1. With the external drive you have the option of mounting it on some sort of isolation device such as vibrapods or cones...etc. This should make it less prone to vibration than an internal drive which is usually mounted with a few screws to a flimsy metal case.
2. The external has its own dedicated power supply built in, this should be better/cleaner then an internal which is sharing a power supply with a whole bunch of other components(cpu, hard drive, video card...etc)Whether or not your going to hear these differances is another story all together.
