Typescript: Webstorm types vs npm @types? Use which one?

What is the difference between:

Preferences>Languages & Frameworks>Javascript>Libraries>Download Typescript Community Stubs

and

npm install @types/node --save-dev

 

Which one is preferred in a Webstorm project? 

 

(I tried using both now I get multiple implementations)

The latter is preferable - works better for modules resolving and can be used by Typescript language service.

using both at the same time is not recommended - types will be resolved to several definitions at the same time, causing problems with navigation/completion/etc.
