matspart3,
All other things being the same I'd choose the approach that had the longest distance from the MAP to the runway touchdown zone. This allows a more controlled rate of descent if the WX at time of landing is actually at minimums.

NDB approaches are antiquated to say the least but a GPS or other LNAV overlay works great.

NDB at one airline I'm familiar with means "no damn business".
