I can contribute a couple of things from my experience with some of these.1. 
there are some gotchas with using NULL (in vector files) is that the result of 
X+NULL or X concatenate NULL, effectively any operation using NULL the result 
is NULL. This is expected/deliberate.I've only come across Nan in tiffs when 
there's somethings wrong with the format / import.Nodata seems to be specified, 
the default is set at 0 on most files/formats I've dealt with (usually single 
band rasters) and its handled the same way as if I specify -999.

This post seemes to have drowned, so I dare to bump it, hoping that some less 
confused people like me might anwser to it.I'm using QGIS for years now, but I 
never figured out how that stuff is supposed to work.One of the reasons why I 
try to do a lot of stuff now in R is that NA is NA !

hi all!
please, is there someone who could explain properly all the "NoData topic"?

I mean:
1. differences in setting negative values (-999, -9999, -3.40282e +35, etc) VS 
NoData (Nan, NoData, NULL)
2. how QGIS handles it
3. "best practices" or good hints for managing them

sorry but I've quite a big confusion.

Thank you very much in advance!
