What's the difference and on what basis should I base my
decision?
The interpreter is slow but accurate, treating each ARM instruction sequence it encounters as if it were the for first time and translating them over and over. The recompiler tries to remember previously converted sequences, which increases speed a great deal but because of the complexities of CPUs and the recompilation process, this can reduce emulation accuracy and cause problems with some pieces of software.
I recommend you build both. Use the recompiler version normally, but if you encounter crashes you wouldn't expect from a normal RISC OS machine, switch to the interpreter version.
