Difference in providing read-only access through page layout and profile

Hi,

 

I want to provide read-only access to records received through S2S connection to certain users. I have a read-only page layout in place. We can also provide read permission through the profile. What is the difference between these two? Which one subsides the other?For my particular req. which one should I use?

 

Thanks in advance.

Profile -- Object level permission.(Create, Read, Update, Delete).

Pagelayout -- Record level Permission(Read, Hidden)

 

Pagelayout overrides the profile permission.
