    the new code shows results that are more in line with my other tracking programs and I don't have to modify the script on secure (ssl) pages...

    ga.js is Google Analytics own, earlier urchin was being used by GA now they have their own so go for ga.js which provides modified results.

    There is no problem of using the old one, but it won't be updated in the future anymore, so it's better to switch to the new one.
