The Generic Handler is a ashx file. You can basically make it return anything (image, json, html, etc.).

The Http Handler would be a class library that you can distribute and can be deployed by changing the web.config. The purpose would be the same as the Generic Handler.

I guess they accomplish the same thing. It's mostly a matter of how you intend to implement (a file in your web.project vs. class library) and distribute it.
