WHoops is more WHimsical.
Whoops is also more associated with sound than just mistakes.

An 'oops' means you just had the wrong OOPinion.
A 'whoops' means that you need a WHOOPin'.

"Oops" is "Oops, I dropped my peanut butter sandwich on the floor."
"Whoops" is "Whoops, I guess we really screwed the pooch on this Iraq thing."
