Having owned both, I can say that the projectors are much nicer than the reflectors. The projectors have a more focused light path with a sharper cutoff between illuminated and non-illuminated portions of the road. The reflectors are more diffuse and the cutoff from illuminated to non-illuminated areas of the road is not as sharp.

It actually took me a bit of time to get used to the cutoof of the projectors compared to the reflectors: you don't get as much area illuminated with the projectors, but what they hit is illuminated much better than with the reflectors.
