I am not sure there's much in it. I attach whatever nozzle I like to whichever hotend I'm using. The nozzle supplied with it is either the type I like (e3d style) or it goes in the spare parts bin or back on ebay.
I think it comes down to how sharp is the tip, a very sharp nozzle helps with feature detail, so small highly detailed models come out better. A broad nozzle smoothes your flat surfaces more. If using abrasive filaments such as carbon you might consider a harder nozzle such as stainless steel instead of brass so that it lasts longer.
Personally I avoid nozzles where the edge between the tip and the sloping region is too sharp as it snags the filament.
