Resonators have a different method of amplification, alongside that of normal acoustics. They were built to be louder, and As Carmello Koala said, they also have a different tone

I don't think usually I would buy a Fender but it depends on the individual guitar. The company I would trust most with making my guitar might be Yamaha, simply because that's where I got my first one and they seem to make even their cheaper products well.
That said, I love this resonator, it's just a shame they fucked up the neck.

This is true, and because of their bluesy/bluegrass background they carry a stereotype for sliding. I don't slide much but I have done a little - perhaps I'll get more into it some time.
And yes, aside from being louder and having a slightly different tone (depending on the individual guitar), the difference is that it is either partially or completely made of metal. I think completely metallic ones are just steel-lap guitars but I may well be wrong, it's not my field so to speak.
In my case, the resonator is smaller than my older guitar (when trying hardcases, I had to go for a classical guitar case! Beautiful case though), yet sounds louder (and nicer, in my opinion) than my Yamaha, which is a very nice guitar itself.
