"Tris" is a chemical compound used as a buffer. The full name is tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane. Tris has the ability to absorb counter ions (+H and -OH) so as to help keep the solution that they are in at a stable pH level. When the pH of Tris is set using HCl (hydrochloric acid) the buffer is called Tris HCl.

They are all basically the same thing. Tris-HCl is just the Tris base converted to a salt with HCl. You can buy either one. The advantage of starting with powdered Tris-HCl is that it is more soluble in water than the base and as a solution has a more neutral pH which is usually the desirable buffer point. Tris base has a pKa of over 8 so using Tris-HCl saves you the trouble of bringing it to a more neutral pH. The one thing to be careful of when making solutions from powder is to be sure to use the correct molecular weight which differs between the two. To answer your specific question, it doesn't matter which you start with except in the rare cases where the sodium from the NaOH would be an issue. For your situation where the solution is going to be slightly basic, it sounds like you could use either one as the starting reagent. I would go with whatever is already around the lab.

This might not be the best answer but, preparing a buffer solution allows one to keep the pH value the same when small amounts of acids or bases are added. Buffer solutions resist change in pH. Source: My Chemistry teacher's PowerPoint

Volumetric flask - used to prepare a standard solution in laboratory
Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris) has a molecular weight of 121.14 g/mol. 50 mM = 0.050 mol/L (x 121.14 g/mol) = 6.057 g/L To prepare a 1L solution first weigh out 6.057 g Tris Add roughly 70% of final volume of water (i.e. 700 mL) Use a pH-meter to measure the pH of the solution Lower the pH of the solution to 7.2 using undiluted HCl Use a measuring cylinder or volumetric flask to make the volume up to 1000 mL If you add too much HCl you need to add more Tris and then recalculate the amount of water that you need add. In this case, every 1 g of Tris requires 165 mL of water to be added.

contains hydroxide ions.
A base solution releases OH- and the positive radical of the base.
