The comparison is between Nagios Agents and the SNMP agents of the Standard MIB - specifically RFC 2790. To me, comparisons would focus on usefullness of data, difficulties of configuration, change management and security.

The nagios agent will enable you to run any plugin and/or build your
own, while using the MIB limits you to what is available from that MIB.
For instance some of our mail servers run exim and I can check the queue
on the remote server via nrpe using a plugin. This is not something
that's available in the host MIB.
