The real major difference is support. OpenSUSE is free and meant to be used as a desktop Linux.It's not suited for enterprise usage because it's unstable, always changing, there's a lot to keep up with. SLED on the other hand is pretty much standard. You get a few Service Packs every so often, but for the most part, what you see is what you get.
On the otherside, The only support you get on OpenSUSE is community support and maybe any literature you can find off of Amazon or Ebay. SLED, you get support from Novell when you need them. When choosing between the two, think about money, adventurous spirit, and need for support. If you think you'll need a great deal of support, get SLED, however it costs about $50. It isn't as up to speed as OpenSuSE is so if you want to have fun and play with Linux, get OpenSUSE. SLED is just supposed to provide a more stable Linux environment for businesses. If you are a true blue Linux user, go for OpenSUSE, if you want a steady environment use SLED. Of course, to many linux users, that level of steadiness is boring. So if you are used to the old SuSE, get OpenSuSE.
