As far as I know there isn’t really a difference. You can have your site on A www.whatever.com as A record and CNAME whatever.com to www.whatever.com Or the inverse like A record on whatever.com and CNAME www.whatever.com to whatever.com. It probably just comes down to preference, I generally set the A record as the root e.g whatever.com and then CNAME www to that and setup a redirect from www to the root, as I don’t really see the point in www in this day and age…
