I have not done any code with iostreams, but conceptually, at a higher level, i believe they're the same: objects that do I/O operations, i.e writes and reads.
If you plan to code something that communicates through a network, then you may want to pick the sockets. Otherwise, I think the iostreams would be the choice, although i can't tell you for sure an example of use.
