@CreateDS only creates and start the "core" server. There is no network layer started. You only have access to the DirectoryService but there is also an JNDI DirContext implementation available. @CreateLdapServer starts the "core" server and also the LDAP network protocol. If you want to write integration tests for your custom code and you use e.g. JNDI than you should use the latter because it is closer to your real environment and communicates over the the wire.
