iptables & APF start/stop question

What's the difference between starting and stopping using these 4 commands:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables start
/etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables stop

service iptables start
service iptables stop

Also, after making changes to the allow/deny list in APF, do I start iptables after APF or vice versa ? I did APF -r stopped iptables then start iptables.. will that cause any problems, I don't know which sequence I should do.
