It looks like the DES-1108 is only 10/100, whereas the DGS-1008D (the green version) is 10/100/1000, or "gigabit" as they say.
Most devices these days are capable of gigabit speeds in theory. Cabling, etc. makes a difference, but generally speaking, the DGS-1008D would be faster for you if you are connecting devices to it that are capable of gigabit speeds.
Personally, I'd spring the $20 extra for a little bit of future proofing, particularly if you're planning on transferring a lot of stuff between devices.
