Here are some of the characteristics. There is some personal choice involved as to if it is an advantage or disadvantage.
NaOH:
Usually Cheaper than KOH
You use less NaOH as the base is 5G/liter+ titration.
The glycerine will solidify
Makes solid soap.
Works better with GL waterless wash.

KOH:
Usually a little more expensive
You use a little more
The glycerine stays liquid
Makes liquid soap
Is more forgiving than NaOH and works better with higher titrating oil.
