Hi tirumalar0001 please find the description about the usage of Paging Grid and Editable Grid mentioned below: 
 Paging Grid: 
 
 When you want to display the data in Read-Only format without any additional formatting such as usage of Rich text field or Progress Bar component. However you can have links to perform some certain actions for the particular row. 
 Paging Grid has Pagination feature OOTB and we just need to deal with it's value, saveInto and totalCount to get this work. 
 Paging Grid has sorting feature available but for that, we need to configure the field, which helps an end user to sort the data based on any column(which has sorting configured) 
 You will not be able to edit any information in Paging Grid as it's Read-Only

Editable Grid: 
 
 When you want to display the rows which can be edited by the end-user, you need to go for Editable Grid 
 Editable Grid supports additional formatting such as Rich text Display Field (such as different color for the texts based on condition for a column), Progress Bar Component etc.. 
 Applying validations conditionally/unconditionally for the rows 
 Doesn't have Sorting feature exist OOTB, hence to do that, we need to go for Custom implementation, such as by using dropdown on the top of this grid to sort the data 
 Also, doesn't have Pagination options available, hence we need to go for custom implementation. 
 It's not always the case to have at-least one field editable in Editable Grid, in fact sometime even when you want the data to be displayed in Read-Only format then also we will go for Editable Grid when you need some additional formatting as mentioned above.

Also i would recommend you to go though SAIL Recipes to have better understanding of SAIL. 
 
 Hope this will help you.
