If you are talking about budding in single celled organisms such as yeast, the main difference seems to be that budding produces one small "daughter" cell and one larger parent cell. While binary division produces two cells of roughly the same (half) size. I think the underlying mechanism (e.g. mitosis) is the same.
Edit: I thought I had better check. This seems to confirm it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexual_reproduction
Good point. For multicellular organisms, binary cell division would be used to grow the bud.
