Your question is confusing. Having a green card means that one is a permanent resident. The two are equal. What additional advantages have you heard about?

Do you mean the difference between having a GC and just being here on a temporary visa? Or between having a GC and being a citizen?

Depends what type of visa you are on, but for me the big advantage will be no longer being completely tied to my employer.

Renewing Your Driver License
Driver licenses are valid for four or six years. Before you renew your license, your driving record is checked. Original (first time) and renewal applicants, who have a conviction-free record for the past three years and no suspensions or revocations for the past seven years, will be issued a "Safe Driver" six-year license

Probably a state by state thing. In Georgia you can get a 5 or 10 year one.
