The largest differences are in hardware floating point support and SMP (multi-CPU) support.

armeabi supports neither, so if you use lots of floating point math you'll be using a software FPU, and if you run on an multi-CPU device such as the Xoom or the Samsun Galaxy S II you'll be tied to one core.

armeabi-v7a supports both, allowing faster floating point execution and the use of all available cores.
