They are different implementations of the Go language. I'd say the 
golang.org (google) version is more widely used than the gcc version 
(which I've never used).

My two cents:
 From my own experience I'd recommend to just install the golang.org 
version to somewhere in your $HOME and setting PATH accordingly. Either 
use a precompiled version (https://golang.org/doc/install) or install 
from source (https://golang.org/doc/install/source), both options are 
easy :)
