The purpose of each is different. The first, in the controls talked about in this post, you are doing "capture sharpening" where you correct for the slight loss of sharpness due to the anti-aliasing filter in most cameras. This sharpening is dependent on the subject photographed and your artistic intentions. It is independent of the output device. The second sharpening phase, "output sharpening" is done just before you export or print your images. The purpose of this phase is to preemptively correct for the loss of sharpness that happens during output -- for example the dot gain of your printer or press. This sharpening is relatively independent of the subject photographed, but is very dependent on the output device. Lightroom can sharpen at two different points in the workflow.

Sharpening should be a final step for many good reasons. You might find it best to only use the sharpening option that is provided on the final export screen.
