Bison meat is leaner and better for you than cow meat. It's also much dryer. I'm not sure why this is but it does have a good flavor. A good bison burger can be found at the Native American Museum in Washington, D.C.
Beef can be lean as well, especially if it's from cattle grazed on grass. However, it is still not as lean as that from bison. It has a stronger taste than beef, and is healthier because it is more leaner. The "drier" part is merely from the way it's cooked; it shouldn't be cooked like beef, but rather much slower and longer than you would with beef.
