Which of the two is better for what situations and what are the actual differences between the two? Which would you prefer for a stealthy rogue?

I plan on running the Black Fang's Dungeon adventure from the BB but don't know exactly how to be a GM. I've read through the adventure and marked some important notes but it doesn't explain certain situations such as, can the PCs choose where they want to go, or do they have to follow a linear path (Encounter 1, Encounter 2, Encounter 3, etc.)? How much of the adventure is verbal and how much of it uses pawns(Do the PCs continue to move their speed on the dungeon map even when not in combat? Do you move the pawns for passing traps in order to obtain treasure? or do the PCs tell you where they want to go, what they want to do, etc.)? These are really the most important things I need to know for the others just come with experience.

Thank you so much for all your feedback :)

P.S. Can you please answer my other question too? Thank you for your help :D

Throughout many different readings, the core rule book, etc. Time is mentioned greatly. I don't understand it! It says stuff such as "You can read 250 words per minute" or when crafting "week's worth of progress." How do you know what time it is when the campaign starts? How is time calculated? Is it calculated into rounds such as 1 round per minute? How do you know if it's the "next day?" How do you know if the PC needs to eat, or drink, or anything else? For spell casting characters, how do you know when it is the next day and you can cast your spells again (similar to the other question about calculating the next day)? What else about time should I know? Also, after a campaign when you enter a city for healing or purchasing new weapons and armor, are you supposed to have a map for the city too or is that completely verbal? When in a dungeon do you have to travel as a group or can you single handedly explore certain areas while the others go a separate path? Also, if possible, can somebody break down the Black Fang's Dungeon adventure featured in the BB? I just don't understand if you have to follow everything linear or if you can skip an area and ultimately skip an encounter or two.

P.S. The beginner box didn't really explain as much of the rules as I hoped so thank you to everybody for your feedback! :D
