org.springframework.stereotype.Controller

Is an annotation. It indicates that the annotated class is a controller as well as a candidate for auto-detection (like a @Component). This is the annotation you want to use.

org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.Controller

Is an interface for implementing controllers. In most simple cases you probably don't want to be using this.
