The print() function and sys.stdout.write() method in Python sends output to the console with different operating procedures.

The print() function operates as a user-friendly and higher-level method. The function automatically inserts a new line before ending while permitting multiple arguments through commas until users include optional parameters that control the formats. This function serves as the best choice for standard debugging and output activities.

The sys.stdout.write() method functions as a basic level standard output stream writer. This method produces output to the standard stream without a new line, without implicit addition until a user specifically adds one, and receives only one string value. This function provides a count of the written characters to facilitate better output control.

The sys.stdout.write() method proves valuable for performance demanding situations alongside custom output design needs which include writing data streams, logs, and progress bars.

Example: 

import sys
print("Hello")               # Adds a newline by default
sys.stdout.write("Hello\n")  # Manual newline required

Print() provides convenience along with readability but sys.stdout.write() allows detailed control of output patterns during execution.
