The difference is based on how many options exist; if it can fit on one screen, use an actionsheet. If it cannot, use a picker wheel. There are other minor considerations, but that is the primary difference between their intended functionality.– Myrddin EmrysApr 19, 2012 at 17:48

It depends on the context, text length of picked items, horizontal and/or vetical view, other controls inside the same app (heuristics) and iOS HCI guidelines. Could you tell us a bit more on the above descibed?– Benny SkogbergApr 19, 2012 at 18:27

From iOS Human Interface Guidelines > iOS UI Element Usage Guidelines > Control > Picker:
On iPad, present a picker only within a popover. A picker is not suitable for the main screen.
