The "service" command originated with Red Hat's implementation of sysv-rc and is maintained under Debian for compatibility or convenience. Use it if you like it. The "systemctl" command originated with systemd, and offers more features (subcommands and options). If all you want to do is stop and restart a service, they're both fine. If you want more features, it's worth learning systemctl.
