Creating patches for source

Hi,

Quick and fast question here. I'm starting to create patches (diff) :-) so, I googled for a while and most say that one could use the diff -up or diff -Naur. They both look to me very similar and honestly -up works for me. Still, what command will make the cleanest patch and which one is mostly used?

Thanks for the time,

.Alejandro
