how does anyone know which to use and which is best to learn first
Flexbox is a layout mode. Bootstrap is a framework. Bootstrap 4 now uses flexbox as part of the framework.
I learned Bootstrap and it’s made a world of difference for me. I’m more of a back-end developer, and not artsy, so I needed an easy way to make my front-end look appealing.
I highly recommend this tutorial:

Grid is simpler, but is not yet supported by all. So I suggest you to learn Flexbox and master it. If you want go in the Front-end way or Full-stack or Web design, remove Bootstrap from your mind. Bootstrap is easy but is very very anti-design.
Can you expand on this?

If you don’t know how create layout without Bootstrap you will use it to design your website without creativity. It is a strong tool if you know how layout without it and you use it just to semplify.
