Labib,
At a 10,000 foot level v3.0 was superceded by . v1.0.
TLSv1.0 (RFC 4346) was an upgrade to SSL v3.0 (but they don't interoperate)
This "Cisco.com document" describes the workings of both in some detail: SSL: Foundation for Web Security
it states this as some basic differences:
...
TLS uses slightly different cryptographic algorithms for such things as the MAC function generation of secret keys. TLS also includes more alert codes.
...
Also See: Wikipedia TLS
As far as which to use, it would depend on if both sides (server/client) support each? TLS v1.0 or v1.1 is newer.
Most modern Browsers tend to support both.
i.e.
- Firefox 3.5.7 supported both SSL v3.0 and TLS v1.0
- Internet Explorer v6 supported both SSLv2, SSLv3, TLS v1.0
- etc.
Hope that helps.

Did you find proper answer of your question? I am still looking for right answer... and also what is the header difference between SSL and TLS ?
