What is the difference between direct form 1 and direct form 2?

In very general terms, Direct Form I has advantages for fixed point implementations, and Direct Form II has advantages for floating point implementations. Both have stability problems for higher order filters. Both are equivalent for nonrecursive filters.

Which form is preferred between direct form 1 and direct form 2 and why?

(ii) The Direct Form-II structure has the advantage over the Direct Form I as it requires less memory storage for the data samples. These types of filters are an all-pole filter followed by an all-zero (forward) filter.

What is direct Form 1 filter?

The DF-I structure has the following properties: It can be regarded as a two-zero filter section followed in series by a two-pole filter section. In most fixed-point arithmetic schemes (such as two's complement, the most commonly used [84]^10.1) there is no possibility of internal filter overflow.

What is the advantage of the direct form II?

The advantage of the direct form-II realization of continuous-time systems is that it uses minimum number of integrators. In this realization structure, an intermediate variable is integrated, instead of using the separate integrators for integrating the input and output variables separately.
