SID or SERVICE_NAME

Call it a silly question if you will but I would like to know anyway.
I have a Linux server running Oracle 8.1.6. and it runs fine. Through 
some client I connect to the SID (oralin) and with another I connect to 
the SERVICE_NAME (voyager, the computer name).



What is better practise to connect to SID or SERVICE_NAME, or is there 
no difference nor preference at all?



Thanks a bunch,


Pieter
