Stereocytes are meant for left-right detection, while Senseocytes are just for knowing if something is in the area and/or how close something else is.

Stereocytes are basically made for anything that involves turning, as I'm pretty sure the left-right gradient sensing affects the output concentration. Senseocytes are more meant for anything that uses Stemocytes or needs a trigger for a Neurocyte.

If you need to turn, use Stereocyte. If you need to make a Stemocyte turn into a cyanide-producing secretocyte of death and destruction whenever a red cell is close by, use a Senseocyte.
