The 12-27 goes:

12,13,14,15,16,17,19,21,23,25,27

The 12-29 goes:

12,13,14,15,16,17,19,21,23,26,29

The only difference is on the 12-27, the last two cogs are 2-tooth jumps instead of 3-tooth. That means they'll involve a less-severe change in cadence. How much that matters is up to you; I thought the 12-27 might add an 18t cog in the middle, but apparently not.
