I've noticed that often one is cheaper then the other depending on the resistance value, both are far cheaper then carbon comp resistors though.
Supposedly they also have voltage ratings, but I have never had a 1/2 Watter arc over in any radio that I repaired so I guess the 400 v rating is high enough.
