The real question is why they should be different in the first place - as a player it makes zero sense and no added value to have different values for the same stat.
Some stats are dependant on being compared to your enemy's stats. The character sheet (paper doll) makes up some stats for the enemy to display something to you that otherwise might not be possible to display. Sometimes it's due to bugs, i.e. the client believes A stacks with B but on the server it doesn't.

Answer is neither. Use Rydiak's spreadsheet.
Getstats doesn't always show all of the modifiers for individual abilities, some tactics, and does not show avoidance of one player versus your own.
It's impossible to outfit your character for all situations, and you should always test over assuming something works the way you think.
a question, why nobody bothered unifying stat knowledge aka fixing paperdoll before ?
We did try. It's mostly clientsided and a lot of it is embedded directly into the game logic (ie; reverse engineered side of things) that we hadn't made support for.
In theory, we could send stats directly
if we were to have a way to set Lua variables on the server to the client, which we can do right now at the expense of it being strings in channel9, which isn't ideal.
I started work on a solution for this before dipping, but it was a lot of work remaining. Doable, though.
