They have different purpose and usage.

Unit condef implements the Source -> Enclose in $IFDEF feature.

Unit CustomDefines helps the user to manage a list of defines to be
passed to compiler.
You can open it in Project Options -> Compiler Options -> Other -> Defines ...
It is a front-end to Custom options memo, but it keeps a list of
unselected defines, too.

Maybe the unit CustomDefines should be renamed to something else,
there are properties named CustomDefines.
