It is a matter of personal preference. Banners appear at the top of the screen for a number of seconds, and they are spoken. Alerts appear on the front of the phone and have to be closed to get back to the place where you were, or launch the app the alert is telling you about, such as a message, Facebook alert, Twitter, and so on.
Each app can be set up indidividually in settings/notifications, so that one app can be set to banners, another to alerts, and perhaps still another to none.
