Hector is a higher-level client that provides some abstraction and an easy to use interface. The Thrift API is pretty raw. So for most cases the Hector client would be the best choice; except for use-cases where the ultimate performance is a requirement (resulting in lots of more maintenance between Thrift API changes).
