I was going through my comic collection and found that I have two #45's that have two little differences. First off one has the bar code at the bottom and the other has Spider-man's face. Second, one has a white M with the price and number and the other has white box with the price and number.

Direct editions are shipped to comic stores and subscribers;
newstand editions of comics are shipped to EVERY NEWSTAND, DRUG STORE and well, ANY place that sells comics other than comic stores ....if anything, the direct editions will be worth more.

It does not matter. They have the same value. A collector might prefer the direct marker version, but they're the same.
Also, make sure your Spidey-faced version isn't a second print. If it is a second (or higher) print, it would say so on the first page of the interior (where they fine print, volume number, publisher's address and all that stuff is). The second printings usually had the "direct marker" treatment applied to them.
