Hello G.,

First: The differences are the the content, and the size...

Then: It depends of the usage... ; You can use:

jar	Usage
plantuml.jar	If GraphViz is not already installed on your system. Or if you will test all cases... and compare the different outputs...
plantuml-nodot.jar	If GraphViz is already installed on your system. If you want to use instead the internal layout (Smetana or ELK) to produce the diagram which normally use Graphviz (e.g. usecase diagrams, class diagrams, object diagrams, component diagrams, deployment diagram, state diagrams and Legacy activity diagrams) Or if you want only produce diagram which does not use Graphviz (the other diagram types)

See doc. here:

If that can help,
Regards,
Th.
