The main difference is the output format: netstat-nat uses a table output format similar to netstat, which in my eyes is more human readable than the output of conntrack. Additionally, netstat-nat can resolve IP addresses and port-numbers. conntrack, the official tool from netfilter.org, provides a full interface to connection tracking and has some other features like xml output, while netstat-nat can only display the most important information about tracked connections. See the man pages for the details. A short look to the popcon statistics [1,2] shows, that netstat-nat enjoys about the same popularity as the some years younger conntrack.
