Believe it or not I have never used these before... and I don't quite understand the difference or benefit between the
generic Java vs. NSComparator.

In a nutshell, all those mysterious looking classes prefixed with "NS" (don't ask) are Apple's own proprietary and incompatible incarnations of what lesser mortals know as "java.lang" and "java.util":

If you have a choice, stick to the regular, well known and standard Java classes instead of their proprietary and incompatible "NS" siblings.
