If you buy a 5-year coupon, which is the stripped piece, you get paid at the end. You buy it at $60 and it matures at $100. More volatile than regular bonds. You'll usually pay the trading desk a higher spread.
Regular bonds are more liquid.
They're very much the same thing. Do NOT buy a coupon bond in a taxable account. Reason: you're supposed to impute the amount of interest you're getting every year and report it on your taxes, which is a painful process.
