the difference is the method of fuel being added to the equation of a cold dense charge being spray in to your motor, you could do a dry shot, spray through your maf and them the PCM detects that cold charge, and then adds fuel via the fuel injectors.

the wet shot is not sprayed through the MAF but after the maf closer to the motor, and is pre-mix with fuel before leaving the jet. and that is where you get your fuel.

I feel a wet shot is more accurate A/F wise, you can tune your car for NA performance and leave it, and for nos you can also tune that via jettings. also a wet shot rely on your fuel pump, a dry shot relys on your fuel pump AND Injector limitations. hope I help clear some things up for ya.

A wet system is much more dependant on bottle pressure and maintaining it across the run. Lower bottle pressures will flow lower amounts of N20 through the system, so your mixture will change, though not significantly.
Personally I think dry is the way to go for the shots most of us are running on a stock(ish) motor, but going beyond ~125 on the small injector cars is a bit risky.
