I am a newbie server operator and just figured out how to run a srcds server with my router. Is this the same thing as the one in steam under tools? Which one should I use to get best results? Thanks!

it is more or less the same thing, its just that running the stand alone server uses less system resources, because you don't have to have steam running. that and the stand alone is easier to run in console mode which uses even less resources.

Not only does stand alone have console, but compaired to the GUI of the Steam distro (from your game list) there isnt just more system resources, its a notorious HOG of resources.
Plus server checker works with the console stand alone and that program is awesome
