Try out both and decide for yourself!
There's a detailed section in the post highlighting the differences.
Check "Q: What is the difference between Vanilla RTX and Vanilla RTX Normals?"

will this work with the OG Fantasy texture pack? or no? and does this have ray tracing?

Vanilla RTX adds ray tracing support for the vanilla game only, it isn't meant to be combined with other texture packs.

This is a masterpiece resource pack and I recommend it, I want to make textures for RTX in my mod and recommend people with RTX to play this resource pack with my mod if of course they have RTX but I just love your Resource Pack

Because of a new bug introduced in Minecraft 1.21.90, enabling ray tracing is now a little trickier!

In addition to everything in the installation guide of this post, you have to head to Video Settings, scroll down until you find "Allow Graphics Mode Switching In-Game" and re-toggle it! (i.e. turn it on, off, and back on)

Now you can join your world with ray tracing enabled properly. This issue should go away with a future Minecraft update (1.21.100)
Vanilla RTX still works in the latest version, just be sure to follow the latest installation guide from its new page!

Update:
This issue is now fixed!
