Normally you want the first. You might want the latter if you need to do manual tweaks to the .tex file, or if you need to give your document to somebody who does not have LyX and needs the .tex file. Or you might use special packages that require more runs of pdflatex and/or auxiliary programs e.g. to produce a special index.
Georg, Thanks very much for the insight. When I submitted my book to Springer-Verlag, I ran both pdflatex and latex on the lyx file. That provided them with all the files they wanted; that is, _everything_. Made a rather large tarball, too. Rich -- Richard B.
