As far as my knowledge goes: if you install ntpd and use it it uses ntp
to talk to the configured servers (or pool-addresses).
sntp is a "smaller" subset of the protocol, normaly used by tools that
only once query the time and are done with it (like ntpdate).
The ntpd can serve sntp-requests, and that changes nothing about how he
himself queries for time...
ntpsec may be worth a look too.
