all depends on what you plan to do...delrin is harder wearing and the better engineering plastic generally, Nylon is cheaper... Nylon is good for rollers and stuff where friction is low but there's not much sliding movement... delrin is the better choice for things such as leadscrew nuts where there is a trade off between friction and wear...
