Drupal Commerce or Commerce Kickstart?

i've just finished lynda.com Drupal Commerce, the teacher recommends to install kickstart for the lesson, did and i completed the lesson just fine. now i'm ready to do a live site on a host. i don't know if i should install Drupal Commerce or Commerce Kickstart. the kickstart has files in profiles/commerce_kickstart/modules. the documentation just says some developers like them in sites/all/modules... but nowhere can i find an explanation, why are the kickstart files in profiles in the first place? what changes if you move them? what should a normal person do when creating a live commerce site leave the files as is in profiles or move them to sites/all/modules? thanKS!

Hope you enjoyed Tom's videos from lynda.com!

I'd strongly recommend you to start with Commerce Kickstart as it includes all components you need to start.
The reason of the profiles/modules placement for the install profile modules is the testing results. You can follow this issue at commerce kickstart project for further information: http://drupal.org/node/1282554#comment-5039350
