The RL by a long shot. They are softer seats and way more comfortable for long trips. I had a 06 RL and I have a 07 TL-S now, and I miss that RL.

Yes. The headrests on the 2009+ RL were redesigned to improve NHTSA's newer whiplash crash protection standards. The headrests tilt forward in an impact to reduce whiplash.

This redesign allow the RL to again achieve 5 star crash ratings which it had lost in the 2008 model year, when whiplash the standards were revised.
