301 redirection is a Permanent redirection process while 302 redirection is a temporary process. We use 301 redirect when we want to redirect any site into other permanently. Then whole traffic of that site will be automatically redirected. While we use 302 redirection when we want to redirection in any site for temporary basis.
301 redirect is the most efficient and Search Engine Friendly method for webpage redirection. It's not that hard to implement and it should preserve your search engine rankings for that particular page. If you have to change file names or move pages around, it's the safest option. The code "301" is interpreted as "moved permanently".
A 302 redirect is a temporary redirect. There are very few instances where this type of redirect should be used, but unfortunately it is the easiest to implement. This means that many webmasters unfamiliar with search engine mechanics use the wrong type of redirect.
