I have read in the lsl wiki and done some experiments but I am not seeing any difference between llRezObject and llRezAtRoot.
Is there any major difference between the two? When would it be better to use one over the other?

There is one difference and you don't see it if you rez a single prim.
llRezAtRoot will rez an object with the root at the specified coordinates. llRezObject will rez an object with the objects geometric center at the specified coordinates. For a single prim the two are in the same point. It may or may not be for a linked set. _____________________

rez at root seems to be preferred as I don't remember if there's any convenient way to get the geometric center of an object, as opposed to easily getting the root center.

Most of the time I just use llRezObject BUT you are limited to rezzing within 10 meters and you can move the root prim and use llRezAtRoot if necessary for better positioning.
I never try to do the math anymore thou. Rez the object, record the position of the rezzer, move the rezzer to the position you want it to be(within 10 meters), record THAT position. Subtract the one from the other and that will give you the rez offset to use. You can see how I added the ability to easily edit the rez offset position in a script here: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Multi_Item_Rezzer _____________________
