nvarchar(max) vs NText

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using the nvarchar(max) vs. NText data types in SQL Server? I don’t need backward compatibility, so it is fine that nvarchar(max) isn’t supported in older SQL Server releases.

Edit: Apparently the question also applies to TEXT and IMAGE vs. varchar(max) and varbinary(max), for those searching for those data-types later.
