I've noticed stylesheets may be located in either:

What's the difference, and why?

EDIT: I also realize that this location is totally customizable, but these are the most prevalent locations I've found.

I'd suggest you go read about the "rails asset pipeline." That should answer your questions...

http://guides.rubyonrails.org/asset_pipeline.html

http://railscasts.com/episodes/279-understanding-the-asset-pipeline

The short answer is that 'app/assets' uses the asset pipeline and 'public/stylesheets' is simply a static file.
