My understanding (which is probably incomplete) is that charset-hook
was the original, and is used for displaying messages. iconv-hook, on
the other hand, applies even to things in $send_charset (I'm not sure
why this is necessary, but... <shrug>). If it helps, this is from
http://www.mutt.org/changes.html:
charset-hook defines aliases for character sets encountered in
messages (say, someone tags his messages with latin15 when he means
iso-8859-15), iconv-hook defines local names for character sets (for
systems which don't know about MIME names; see contrib/iconv for
sample configuration snippets).
