steam dedicated server is a gui (graphic user interface) version. you can run a server through that. but its a bit buggy at times, and tends to take more system resources while running.
srcdsupdatetool will update/instlal for the game you want in a seperate folder from steam (it will have nothing to do with the steam you use to play) and is run with a console interface. its a little less user friendly but in the longrun its the way to go, as its more stable then the steam gui version and takes up less recources.
