They serve the same purpose as the Army Special Forces (including undergoing the same exact selection and training); the difference is that NG SF units deploy less frequently, and get more down time (time back home) than their active duty counterparts; there are pros and cons to this. The pro is that you will not be completely worn out by having back-to-back-to-back rotations that many of the SF soldiers are experiencing right now. No matter what you think you want to do, being mentally and physically exhausted for months on end is not on the list.
These guys work very hard all the time, and get very little rest in between rotations (a couple months). The NG SF units, however, get an extended rest period in between rotations (upwards of 18 months), but the flipside to that is that their rotation lasts longer (1 year, versus 4-6 months for active duty). This longer time off allows NG SF soldiers to attend the schools of their choice within the Army (sniper school, Ranger, HALO/HAHO, etc) and have time to complete them; in active duty, you may not have time to complete a course in between rotations, and thus may not be able to expand your soldiering resume, so to speak.
So basically, the training is the same, but the rotations and time in between differs from active duty to NG units. So, it is personal preference. If you would rather be humping out there most of the time, and in the "s***", then go active duty. If you have your heart set on SF AND a particular school, go NG for a few years, them step up to active duty when you're good to go; but remember, if you get tired of active duty, you cannot simply revert back to NG whenever you want... you owe the Army time on, and they will get it from you.
