Answer 2

StringBuffer is synchronized and StringBuilder is not synchronized.

Answer 3

It depends on what you're trying to achieve with either one. If you desire to work with faster speed then the StringBuilder class is ideal. If you desire thread safety then the StringBuffer class is ideal. More answers are welcome of course.
