test = cmds.ls(mat=True)
for each in test:
print each

This gives predictable results:
lambert1
particleCloud1

test = cmds.ls(mat=True)
print test

This gives:
[u'lambert', u'particle']

What is the U?

Unicode string.

In the first case you are printing the string value of unicode objects, the second case you are printing the string representation of a list of unicode objects.
It's the same as the difference between str(obj) and repr(obj).

Thanks to both of you! That was googlable and interesting.
