It's in the docs type C-h v c-default-style c-default-style is an alist determining the style to be used by all C-like languages. It is used before mode-specific hooks are run. Then once in CC mode c-set-style can be used to change the mode on the fly. So, c-default-style is most useful for writing you .emacs files, c-set-style is most useful to change the style during editing. You could use c-set-style to change the style in a hook if you liked though.
