Based on my somewhat limited experience, I'd classify them this way: R -- Casts a long, even swath of light. Much less of a "dark zone" near the front wheel. N -- Casts a shorter swath of light that fans out a little more. If you think of the R's beam as being a tall/long rectangle, the N's would be shorter and wider.
For my relatively slow commuting speeds (11-15mph), I prefer the R. I mount my head lamp on the fork crown, so that also may have an impact on my preference.
