Which system is more efficient and allows less variation from shot to shot, compressed air or nitrogen?
compressed air vs. Nitrogen

Well tipically N2 will be a little bit cleaner so in the long run you should have to do less reg work but as for efficiancy and and consistancey you shoulden't see any difference, air is 80% N2 after all.
But if you use a Ti barrel I would recomend staying away from N2. It causes a reaction that can make the Ti barrel spark, it looks cool but in the long run it degrades the surface of the barrle.

They are pretty much the same although I have been told that compressed air is slightly more dense than Nitrogen allowing for more shots per fill.
Compressed air and nitrogen are functionally identical. Both are pure because compressed air is filtered to be breathable through scuba gear; the compressors used in paintball are based on, if not the same as, the ones used by dive shops. Jynx is exactly right on the issue of the Titanium barrel, which hopefully by now should be remedied if the people I talked to from Chicago have advised DYE to change to a titanium-nickel alloy, which a 10th grade knowledge of chemistry should have told them to do in the first place.
