What's the difference btwn these two options and when is an appropriate time
to use them?

If you want to be able to edit and save, you need to Open as Copy. If you
need only to read and print, Open Read-Only will do.

Suzanne S. Barnhill shared this with us in
microsoft.public.word.newusers:

If you want to be able to edit and save, you need to Open as Copy. If
you need only to read and print, Open Read-Only will do.

Also, the former is exactly the same document (so you have 1 file),
while the latter is a copy (= 2 files).
