I don't think so -- more of a personal choice.
NBU is much more limited on it's options. It's primarily for backing up
and restoring informtion, and installing packages.
NCU has other features for sync'ing/moving information from Desktop to
Newt and vice versa.
Basically I look at NBU as being a subset of NCU feature wise.
Personally I prefer NBU for backing up data and have had good results
with it over serial and Ethernet.
Using either one, I would increase your Prefered Memory Size to the size
of the card, plus 4MB, to ensure that you have plenty of memory. So for
a 16MB card, I would set the Prefered Memory Size to 20MB as a minimum
for either application.
I hope this helps.
