Wetpaint and PBwiki have a lot of stylistic differences and Wetpaint seems more accessible to people unfamiliar with wikis then PBwiki (little notes explain each step). However, the main difference I noticed was how prominent Wetpaint's collaboration tools were.
Part of the set up process is to invite friends and there are several notes in this section explaining the importance of multiple contributors for creating content. At the top of every page are various tools like a forum, a to-do section and a page that lists all the members of the wiki. Each page you create can be tagged with keywords and when the page is posted a box pops up inviting you to add a note about the page that other contributors can see. Wetpaint makes communication with other authors and maintainers of your wiki very easy and its communication tools are very visible.
Wetpaint is easy to use and set up, making it a good choice for people new to wikis. However the site is supported by ads. PBwiki has a more serious appearance making it a better choice if you want a professional looking wiki.
