Custom CSS - In child theme vs. betheme>options
in Other
General question:
What is the difference between using the child theme to add custom CSS versus using the custom CSS field in the betheme>options>custom CSS?
Is there a preferred and/or 'best practice' in regards to adding custom CSS?
I've found that sometimes putting CSS is one place versus the other gives me different results (sometimes the code changes will display if code is in one place and not the other, or sometimes I have to put code in both for it to work)...

all details about child theme you can read on https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
To be honest, we don't like child theme and we don't use it. We prefer to use parent theme only.
If I use the parent theme- when I update the theme, do I need to be careful not to overwrite certain files?
In reference to 2nd question, yes, you need to be careful because update overwrite theme files.
