301 is a 'permanent redirect' and 302 is temporary. When google sees a 301 it knows it should forget the old URL and index the new one. When it sees a 302 it assumes the content will return to the old one and not index the new one as comprehensively.
I'd always go for a 301.

I think you're right... I'm a bit confused, I remembered seeing somewhere to use 302 instead of 301, which surprised me, but the explanation (now forgotten) seemed solid, so I filed the information away in my memory. When writing this post I've been incapable of laying my hands on my initial source. My research seems to point, as you indicate, to using 301 instead of 302.

Extra information, anybody?
