Technically speaking they are both single coils.

P90s are probably warmer than regular single coils and can be a bit more powerful, but it depends on the magnets and how they're wound. When Gibson doesn't use a humbucker they usually turn to "dog ear" P90s. You'll see them in many of the Les Paul Jr models so if you're familiar with that sound you'll have some idea.
