hey hari this is not a small concept it can become a another post lol
ok
its all depends on your requirement
now days Ems are becoming popular in web documents. lots of designer and developer using it. because

Em — is a unit based on value of font-size. If you set all of the fonts for within the body of your page to be 12px than 1em is equal to 12px. em based designs became in fashion as people starting thinking about the best way to handle font resizing using the browser. In an em design, the whole design is zoom with the font-size.

PX — Px is a unit used for screen media. It’s an absolute measure. One pixel is equal to one dot on the computer screen.

Percent: The percent unit is much like the “em” unit, save for a few fundamental differences. First and foremost, the current font-size is equal to 100% (i.e. 13pt = 100%).While using the percent unit, your text remains fully scalable for mobile devices.

Points (pt): Points are traditionally used in print media. One point is equal to 1/72 of an inch.Points are fixed-size units and cannot scale in size.
