Hi @ironryan77,
Based on my understanding, what is the best R-Script platform to use here should depend on the amount of data and the specific scenario you want to apply it for. 
For example, if your data is small enough to fit your machine memory, and your analysis includes some higher order matrix manipulations, then MRO is the best bet, with Intel MKL library installed. There is no harm to use MRC, but you do not need it.
