AFAIK a challal can marry a regular Jewish girl. He is forbidden from  
other things like truma. OTOH he has no issur of  tumah.

But I think the son of a challal is a challal, and his son, and his son,  
forever.  And the daughter of a challal cannot marry a kohen. So his  
granddaughter (son of his son), his great-granddaughter and so on, can never  marry 
kohanim -- at least until so many generations have passed that no one  
remembers the family are challalim.  Whereas if he has a son with a  non-Jewish 
woman that son is not a challal.  He's also not a Jew, but he  can become 
one.  And the daughter of a ger can marry a kohen.
