Field level requirements
This is the most restrictive of requirements, and it requires the field to be entered all the time, regardless of how the record is saved (i.e. through an integration, the API, mass upload, or through the User Interface). Read through these instructions for more information.
On the page layout
This option only makes the field required when the specific page layout that you set this requirement on is accessed. Therefore, you could technically make this required for some Users that use a particular page layout but not others. Please review, Customize Page Layouts with the Enhanced Page Layout Editor .
Validation rule requirement
You can build more complex validation rules that have conditional statements to meet your business needs. Please review Define Validation Rules.
