Both

All of the above:
5 yard
10 yard
15 yard
Half the distance
DQ
Spot
Special enforcement (see kicking)

These are the penalties and they apply to both teams. They are applicable depending upon what foul may have been committed and the location on the field.

Yes, all penalties can be called (accessed) on both. Not all fouls can be committed by both.

Walt responded to what you meant, I responded to what you said. This is a prime example of why we should all master Rule 2 (Definitions) and be able use them properly when communicating. Think of it like this, a foul is an infraction of the rules and a penalty is the punishment that is accessed for committing a foul.

And remember, the distance portion of any penalty may be declined.

I'm not sure if you really meant this, but under NCAA rules, the entire penalty may be declined (as a whole), but disqualified players must always leave.

When you say "distance portion," does that mean Fed will allow you to, say, ignore the distance on a roughing the passer penalty and just go with a first down? That would be bizarre.

You could decline the distance for say a penalty that will put your kick at a bad angle for a kick. Accept the penatly get to rekick, but decline the distance.
