NSE has hardware acceleration for packet forwarding. It's your best bet for general routing. I use them and like them.
NPE has a faster CPU but doesn't have the PXF accelerator. It's slower for raw routing but faster at broadband agg, route reflector, "features". IMO you'd normally chose a NPE-Gsomething in a 7200 instead of NPE in 7304 unless you want the route engine redundancy option or other line cards.
