Which manaul focus button to use?

Why is their two switches? One in the lens and one in the body? Say I have both to auto focus and want to switch to manual focus, which one do flip to manual? The one on the body or lens or both? Thanks.

From my experience with my nikkor lenses, once I switch to manual on lense, it switches automatically on the body.

If you are referring to the MA / M swithes on the higher quality Nikkor lenses, the MA switch uses AF to attain focus, but allows you to manually tweak the focus point if needed. The M switch is manual focus only.

Yes, okay that makes sense. You can see on this D90 (very similar to my D7000) that there is a switch on the lens and on the body right below the lens release button.

Not all lenses have a focus mode switch.

Also the D90/D7000 needs a focus mode switch because they have an internal focus motor.

Yep. A link is the way to do it, if you don't own it.
