The red, low flow nozzles have an 80° pattern. They put out about 1.6 ounces of water per minute, but this is dependent on the pump pressure so it can be adjusted down quite easily. At 45psi, they output about .9 opm. The red ones are the most commonly used ones in the industry, by far.
The acetal plastic doesn't give water hardness much of a grip, so they don't clog as easily as the metal ones. Bob told me that his nozzles are custom made out of an alloy that is mostly molecularly square and flat so that dissolved solids can't get as good of a foothold as they will on the mass marketed brass nozzles. That's really cool, IMHO. One forum member has told me that he still has problems with them clogging, but if you run RO water, that should never happen.
Either system is a great choice, but I'm obviously biased towards one of them.
