'Jou' has emphasis. 'Je' hasn't.
'Hou' is informal. 'Houd' is formal.
* Ik hou van jou, niet van hem. (I love you, not him).
* Ik hou van je. (I love you)
With objects we say 'hou' or 'houd', but here it usually means 'like', not 'love'.
* Ik hou van pizza. (I like pizza)
* Ik hou van dansen. (I like dancing)
Houden (+ van):
ik hou / houd
jij houdt (but: houd jij? / hou jij?)
u houdt
hij-zij-het houdt
wij-jullie-zij houden
