The first one is informal, the second one is formal.
When you meet a friend you can say: "Ciao, come stai?"
If you are talking to someone you don't know / older than you you should ask: "Come sta?"
"Come sta" can also be used when you are talking about a 3rd person. "Hai incontrato Sara ieri? Come sta?" (Did you meet Sara yesterday? How is she doing?)
