LNAV minima will be higher than LNAV/VNAV minima, the latter is for all practical purposes a precision approach and in the case of Jepp's there is no requirement to add 50'

You can fly an LNAV down to LNAV minima in either V/S or VNAV but again in Jepp's case its a non precision approach, it is normally recommended that it is flown in VNAV but may be flown in the alternative method using V/S, but why would you??

If it is a LNAV/VNAV RNP (BARO VNAV) it must be flown in VNAV and for the 737NG VOR update must be switched off and vertical RNP must be changed from 400' to 125'

All of the above not to be confused with an RNP-AR approach
