Prefix-list vs. access-list question

Im a bit confused about the functionality of prefix-lists vs. access-lists.
  While Im aware that prefix-lists seem to have some added granularity Im
a bit stumped as to when it is best practice to use one vs. the other. Here
are a few examples of each

EXAMPLE 1
Router os 1
Default-information originate route-map conditional
-------------------------------------------

Route-m conditional permit 10
Match ip address prefix 5

Ip prefix-list 5 permit 192.168.1.0/24

OR
Route-m conditional permit 10
Match ip add 5

Access-list 5 permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255

EXAMPLE 2

Router rip
Redistribute ospf 1 metric 1 route-map o2r
-------------------------------------------

Route-map o2r permit 10
Match ip add prefix-list 5

Access-list 5 permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0.255

OR

Route-map o2r permit 10
Match ip address prefix-list 5

Ip prefix-list 5 permit 192.168.1.0/24

Do both methods accomplish exactly the same thing or is the matching
mechanism different in access and prefix lists?
