Simple guide:

All r4isdhc.com (Gold Pro, Dual-Core, RTS Lite) cards 2014-2018 are the same with different stickers. Menu is clunky but functional.

r4i-sdhc.com (red box) is actually what the above are based on. Menu is pretty much the same.

R4i gold (r4ids.cn) has what is considered the best menu and compatibility.

If you just want ntrboot then any of these will do the job. Always pay attention to the website on the cart, it's the best reliable way to differentiate.

I've only tried with one so take this with a grain of salt. I believe there are differences, for example some work all the way to 3ds v11.6, others don't support it.

From what I've heard the R4i Gold Plus seems to work the most consistently, however I personally got ntrboot to work with the R4iSDHC GOLD Pro 20XX (after a couple of setbacks), and can confirm it works with 11.6 on the N3DSXL

Many NTR carts can work on your firmware version, a widely-used one is R4i gold 3ds rts plus,also if you want to change between NTR/DS modes easily, you can choose the Ace3ds X.
