Alternating current and direct current has to do with how the unit or pump is powered . The DC allows you to adjust the speed of the unit or pump , which to me is a nice feature . As far as which would intake more air ,assuming both pumps were capable of pumping the same about of water per hour would have more to do with design , impeller design , and intake tube design and size .
