Ubiquinol is the "active" form of CoQ10; your body will not have to convert it prior to usage. With the standard ubiquinone supplement it does need to be converted into ubiquinol prior to being used - as we get older this conversion process kind of breaks down, which is why ubiquinol can be more readily absorbed and used at times.
-- there are other supplements that optimize the usage of CoQ10; Jarrow Formulas makes a product called "Cell Reset MB" (it's been discontinued, but some online sellers have some left - we have some left at work in our "discontinued" section too) that is good for this but once again expensive.

Thanks LosingMe16! I'm 38, do you think I'd still be better off with the ubiquinol form? The cost isn't really an issue--I just want what will be more beneficial.
