How do I decide between the RNY vs. DS?

I need to lose nearly half my body wt, about 140 lbs. I'm having trouble deciding between the RNY and DS. I really want a lap procedure but fear dumping. Also, I'd like to be able to be able to eat a more normal meal so as to not be so "obvious". However, the absorption issues concern me. Can anyone tell me why they decided on one surgery over the other?
