Is there any difference between Sia and Faide?

I'm familiar with Sia, not really with Faide.

No they're just variants. Níos sia/faide. Roughly speaking Sia is what I've heard/read in Cork, Faide in Kerry.

Donegal: níos fuide
"Sia" is a Munster word, I think.

Conamara: usually níos foide, but also níos faide or níos fuide.
