Those two are nothing alike and to ask this question shows that you have not even bothered to research either of the topics to even the slightest degree.

Request.QueryString is the query string, meaning the values passed in after the url. http://www.mysite.com/page.aspx?id=1&catid=5

id=1&catid=5 is the querystring.

Session is something stored in memory (usually) on the server that you can only get access to in C# or server side code.

Request.QueryString() is used to pass information from one page to another page,which is totally visible to end user in Address url.
Session values are stored in the IIS memory.

My Suggestion is:When application to need transfer data securly,then use Session.
When security is not needed then you can use Request.QueryString()
