S3 isn't free, but is slightly easier to start with IMO. Besides that, no difference.

You can, but then you need to stay within the limitations of GitHub pages:

- Needs to be versioned with git to be deployed

- Space limitation (I assume, not sure what it is)

- Deploying new content to S3 is a lot faster - github pages has some sort of build process with a substantial delay
