Question: thoughts on choosing random numbers in maple

I've seen people using different approaches to choosing random numbers.  Some people favour certain methods over others. 

One example using Sample(RandomVariable(Normal(0,1)),50) used in the random walks application.  What about using something like seq(rand(-1000..1000)()/1000,i=1..50) ?  Do they both achieve the same sense of randomness?
