Once the ester detaches, the compound circulating your bloodstream is nandrolone. There is no difference.

Typically, people think deca for bulking and npp for cutting, and they eat like pigs while running deca, hence they get bloating. On the flip side, they diet hard while taking npp, which obviously reduces water retention, and so they believe its because of the different ester.
I prefer shorter esters because it allows for faster adjustments to be made if necessary.
You cannot compare a 250mg sust + 400mg npp cycle to a 450mg test e + 600mg deca cycle. The latter is a significantly higher dose, obviously it will yield different results.
What is your goal for this cycle?
