The first one `utils` are only utilities, which are not related per se to the Telegram API. On the other hand, the `helpers` are indeed helpers to work with the Telegram API, and to make some tasks less cumbersome.

The most common imports are the following:
```python
from telethon.utils import generate_random_long
from telethon.helpers import get_input_peer
```
The first one generates a random long, as its name says, and will be called automatically if a `Request` has a parameter called `random_id`, so you can leave this unspecified.
On the later case, `get_input_peer` will convert an entity, such as an `User`, a `Chat` or a `Channel` into its correspondent `InputPeer` type to save you from the hassle of writing it manually. You can either call `get_input_peer` to save a few `isinstance` checks which would otherwise be executed when constructing a `Request`, or leave the requests do its work. Note that types requiring an `InputPeer` as a parameter will **not** call this method, so you do have to call it on those cases.
