On the IMDB messageboard there's a good list of all the scenes that were in the unrated version but not in the DC:
1) Scene with John Ritter confronting Willie and Marcus about the big and tall incident.
2) Boxing scene with willie training Thurman and Marcus helps out.
3) I just caught this one, the whole advent calendar thing is missing, where Willie tears it up and all that stuff is gone.
4) Florida robbery scene, but it's still in the bonus section with the deleted scenes.
5) Motel room scene where Willie told the stripper she smells like a bum's nutsack (GROSS) again must be exclusive to unrated cut.
6) The scene of Marcus and his g/f waiting for Bernie Mac. The dialouge is kinda cut short and/or altered.
7)Checkers scene b/w Willie and Thurman is missing lot of dialouge. For instance when Willie says he is like seabiscut and goes all off on him.
8)Dialogue as the movie opens, Willie's voice over is missing.
plus a list of all the scenes added/changed for the DC:
1)Shot of a singing boy band, VERY funny stuff. Not sure if it was in theactrical cut or not
2) Ending shot is different. It shows Thurman wiping Willie's blood from the sidewalk and we never see the bully get the kick to the nuts.
3) Ritter's dialouge with Mac is different when he's explaining the noises he heard from Willie.
4) Bernie Mac's death scene is even longer than the unrated cut. It shows them run over his head. I think this was in the outtakes for badder santa.
5) When willie calls Marcus after he sees that Bernie Mac is searching his room. It takes Marcus longer to answer the phone and we see him painting his gf's toenails. Again this was included in the badder santa outtakes.
6) Dialouge is different when Marcus has to wake Willie up to go be "Santa" he tells Marcus he doesn't like that guy, referring to the Ritter character and there is a little more dialouge in that scene.
Sometimes the studio's cut is better than the director's cut.

I liked the director's cut more than the other two versions. I preferred the darker, more introspective take on the Billy Bob Thornton character. But I also disliked most of the added footage to begin with, so I guess I'm in the minority on this...

You're not really in the minority. A couple of people are making their decisions based upon a review or two. You, on the other hand, have actually seen the Director's Cut and decided for yourself. Big Difference.
