What is the difference in a Yukon potato and a pei potato?

If I understand your question correctly, you are asking what the difference is between a PEI potato and a Yukon Gold potato. A PEI (Prince Edward Island) potato refers not to a potato varietal, but to the place where it is grown. The place where a vegetable is grown, the climactic conditions, the minerals in the soil, call all impact the ultimate taste of a crop. Hatch chilis are famous, and are rumored to be the best in the world, thanks to their unique growing conditions.

Yukon Gold potatoes, at least in the current usage, don't refer so much to potatoes which are grown in the Yukon, but rather to a potato varietal. Yukon Golds are a waxy potato, they have a yellow skin and a little bit of a buttery taste, and they are far less starchy than a russet potato.

Is it better growing the potato hydroponically or in the soil?

In the soil because the tubers are not exposed to sunlight, or any source of light for that matter, nor are they going to be as likely to be exposed to very cold or warm temperatures, which is likely the case with growing potato plants in water. If they are exposed to light when still attached to the plant, they turn green, which is a sign that they are not good to eat. Green potatoes are poison potatoes, simply because green potatoes have a higher level of a toxin called solanine than white potatoes do. Solanine is a neuro-toxin that, when enough quantities are consumed, can cause vomiting, diarrhea, headaches and even paralysis of the central nervous system. The occasional green potato chip won't hurt you, but it's a different story if you consume a green potato on purpose.
