Destiny can be played in one of two ways, story mode which yields vanguard marks, or pvp which yields crucible marks. It's possible to use either of those currencies to buy related gear. Is there any significant different between the gear that costs crucible marks or the kind that costs vanguard marks? Is the crucible gear somehow better for pvp?

Overall there is not any significant difference between the gear from the vanguard vendor, the crucible vendor, and the faction vendors.
It's more about what kind of build you want to play and what kind of weapons you're comfortable with.
Also, many top level items come from things outside of the crucible and vanguard economies, such as rewards from raids, nightfall strikes, the Queen mission, engram drops, and purchases from Xur.
