Well, everyone above has said the same thing and answered your first question. As for why you should care -- 301 redirects are cached by the web browser, so if you want to change the redirect in the future it may be hard to avoid the caching; this is especially true for redirects intended to be temporary, e.g. redirecting someone after they login to go to the authenticated area index page. In these cases it's best to use 303 redirect.
