* Which `odt-content' variable should I use? Why are there two?

I was browsing the customize group org-export-odt.
I found two variables that seem to do the same thing.
In org-odt.el, we have
org-export-odt-content-template-file
while in ox-odt.el, we have
org-odt-content-template-file
Do I need to worry about this. Will org-export check both locations, or will
one take precedence somehow? (As in, if one is `nil', will it more or less
have no effect on the other?)
I imagine I could do some print variable testing to discover on my own, but
also wanted to see if comments would be enlightening to my understanding in
general.

Your Emacs comes with an old Org version, while you are using another
one, either as a package or from a directory.
You don't need to worry about this is M-x org-version RET shows that
you are using Org > 8.

What might be confusing is that options generally use the same prefix
than the package they belong to: (require 'my-package-*) will load new
options with a prefix like my-package-*.
In Org, the export packages start as ox-* since 8.0, but the options
they define start with org-export-* and not ox-*. Using org-export-*
as the prefix for all Org export packages felt too much.
HTH,

The old exporter and the new exporters share the same custom group. So
you are seeing the old and new variables in the custom buffer. (IMO
this is a bug.)
----------------------------------------------------------------
NEW variables do NOT have an extra "export" in their names
==========================================================
If you are using org > 8.0, the variables that you are interested in
should come from ox-odt.el.
M-x find-library ox-odt
M-<
C-s defcustom
(defcustom org-odt-prettify-xml nil
^^^^^^^
(defcustom org-odt-schema-dir
^^^^^^^
Note that NEW variables don't have "export" in their names. Except for
change in the prefix, the functionality is for most part the same.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Migrate: Use search and replace
================================
So, a simple renaming in your .emacs should suffice for migrating your
old settings to the new settings.
C-x C-f .emacs
M-% org-export-odt- org-odt-
C-x C-s
