Ordinary Portland Cement sets more quickly, and attains 85% of its maximum strength within 7 days. OPC is most valuable in large construction projects

Portland Pozzolana Cement (OPC mixed with fly ash) takes longer to get to full strength, but it is more eco friendly, because it neutralizes otherwise toxic fly ash, and it is more resistant to corrosive environments. PPC can be used in most situations that OPC can.
