The air handler unit is the indoor unit which blows the cool or warm air through your duct system.  Single speed air handlers blow at a constant speed whenever they are on (and they should only be on when the outdoor unit is operational). A variable speed air handler is more sophisticated and provides a higher level of comfort in most applications.  Its blower ramps up and down speed-wise as demanded by the “control” or thermostat providing more consistent temperatures and helping to eliminate hot spots and cold spots, providing a higher level of comfort.  Variable speed air handlers also improve the efficiency of your total systems anywhere from 1-2 SEER points saving you more money.  Also, since you are only filtering your indoor air when your indoor unit is on, you can run your variable speed air handler all the time for pennies a day because of its ultra high efficiency.  This way you will be providing your family with 24 hour indoor air filtration, 7 days a week.

Higher is better on both.  Think of these like Miles per Gallon on your car.  The higher the better and the higher efficiency systems of today deliver much higher SEER Ratings and HSPF ratings just like most of  today’s cars deliver higher MPG than they did 20-30 years ago.

By the way, SEER Stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating as Determined by ARI (American Refrigeration Institute)
HSPF stands for Heating Seasonal Performance Factor.
