I don't remember who wrote this, Chris or Yonik or Otis, but here's the word from somebody who actually knows...
index time field boosts are away to express things like "this document title is worth twice as much as the title of most documents". query time boosts are a way to express "i care about matches on this clause of my query twice as much as I do about matches to other clauses of my query". so which boost you use depends on your goal.
