Use 301 redirect if you want Link/PR Juice moved to new page.

301 is Permananet redirect and 302 is temporary. In most cases you want to do the 301 as it does pass on the traffic and search engine listings permanently.

First of all I would like to inform you that, Yes, it will definitely effect your SEO and as 301 redirect is a permanent redirection of your web page when 302 redirect is temporary redirection in which you can redirect your particular page to other web page for some time and after that you can make it normal.

The official registry of HTTP status codes lists five classes of status codes, with the first digit of the status code identifying the response class. The 3xx means in this case means the status code is in the redirect class. A 301 redirect means that the page has permanently moved to a new location. A 302 redirect means that the move is only temporary. Search engines need to figure out whether to keep the old page, or replace it with the one found at the new location. If the wrong type of redirect has been set up, search engines may become confused, resulting in a loss of traffic.

A 302 redirect means that the move is only temporary. Search engines need to figure out whether to keep the old page or replace it with the one found at the new location. A 301 redirect means that the page has permanently moved to a new location. This depends on your requirement which type of redirection you want.
