They are basically the same, but different dialects prefer different constructions. I prefer denna/detta for example, but I know that for many, den/det här feels more natural.
It is important to remember though that detta/denna is followed by the indefinite, and den/det här is followed by the definite. e.g.
Denna bok - This book
Den här boken - This book
Some dialects accept "denna boken" but that is not generally accepted.
