The difference is that you want to install the -kinect one, not the -ros one (see this thread). I'm not sure why there are two or why the -ros one hasn't been removed from the package list, though.

Use openni_kinect the stack openni_ros one was temporarily there and so as not to break people's checkouts it has not been removed. It will be removed in the near future.
