It depends on application method mostly. Pastes are designed for hand application while liquids are designed for machine (buffer/polisher) application.
In my experience the paste version of the same product gives better performance - better shine and more durability. The liquid versions have to be compromised by design so they'll work better w/ buffers. That's not true 100% of the time but it is for the majority of products.
Obviously some products will never be made as pastes or liquids for a variety of reasons. Many waxes are liquids simply because market research has proven it. For example, if a mfr discovers a liquid cleaner wax that sells for under $8.00 would be popular, the mfr won't even bother with a paste version unless the same market research suggests it too would be successful. Another reason is that the current batch of polymer sealants cannot benefit from a paste version so stuff like Zaino or Klasse will never be pastes.
I don't know if this info is what you were looking for but I hope it provides some insight.
