Querido/a is generally used as a term of endearment or love ie, dear, beloved
Estimado/a is used as term of respect, generally in correspondence. Estimado señor - Dear sir.
No hay de que.
Estimado is for buisniess letters and it is more polite forme that Querido which you can use when you are speaking with a person who you love
thank you so much =]
There is no difference. In Spain we say more often "querido". Depending on the context you use more one or the other.
"Estimado" is more used as the heading of a formal letter: Estimado Sr. Pérez...."
