I found a really good site awhile back that discussed this with a good balance of technical and non-technical descriptions. Unfortunately I can't seem to find it now, so this might make your head hurt...

The 0 degree trees will give you a stock appearance and ride. The 3 degree will set the front wheel will out just a couple on inches farther which is not really noticable at first glance nor while riding, but it does look better overall. Just my opinion.
