I was just wondering if anyone could tell me when would be the time to

about
using each one, but I am just not sure if there is one that is better

the other in certain situations.
For all intents and purposes there's no real difference between the two.
From the manual:
require() and include() are identical in every way except how they
handle failure. include() produces a Warning while require() results in
a Fatal Error. In other words, don't hesitate to use require() if you
want a missing file to halt processing of the page. include() does not
behave this way, the script will continue regardless. Be sure to have an
appropriate include_path setting as well.
require_once() should be used in cases where the same file might be
included and evaluated more than once during a particular execution of a
script, and you want to be sure that it is included exactly once to
avoid problems with function redefinitions, variable value
reassignments, etc.
include_once() should be used in cases where the same file might be
