Seeing as it's comparing the groups I think "significant difference" would work best.

Notes to answerer
Asker: I also thought it must be a kanji spelling mistake of 有意差, but a google/yahoo search for 優位差 produces a large number of hits and I didn't think they could all be mistakes. But looking at them again, they probably are.

agree  Mami Yamaguchi: There is a significant difference or it is significantly different. 「有意差がある」 is correct. It is a kanji spelling error.
