Mon, Tabata is 20 secs of work followed by 10 secs rest repeated 8 times. It's named after the man who invented it.

Bacardio, it depends on the intensity of the HIIT. In truth, Tabata ia a form of HIIT, just extreme in it's intensity. Both are going to give you a similar result. Some people do 2 or 3 exercises in a Tabata form in one workout. I would suggest that that would be hard to beat with any other HIIT protocol.
