If you're buying a single flash, I'd actually suggest the 430EX. It's smaller and lighter. What you are giving up in comparison with a 580EX is the ability to work as a master and control other slave flashes wirelessly -- but if that's your only flash this ability doesn't matter.
If at some point you decide you need to go the multi-flash route, your second flash should be the 580EX so that your two flashes can work together. But for a single, solo flash the 430EX is perfectly fine.

Well, the 580EX offers quicker reload times and a brighter strobe. Moreover, the size and weight between the two seems practically negligible. It's a difference of a couple ounces and a 430EX is still just a large jump of plastic that you attach to the top of your camera.
