The main differences are:
- mingw-w64 provides headers and runtime that allow you to build both
64 and 32-bit compilers, and also complete binary toolchains for
various operating systems.
- mingw-cross-env is 32-bit only (using the mingw.org headers and
runtime), and automates the process of building the cross-compilers
and many other libraries, with a focus on building static binaries.

Take a look at the documentation here:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mingw-w64/wiki/download%20filename%20structure
and here if you want to build your own:
http://mingw-w64.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mingw-w64/trunk/mingw-w64-doc/howto-build/
Cheers,
