There are some fundamentally different approaches taken by the Bnai Noach movement. Here is a brief overview of these approaches (listed A-Z by last name):
Rabbi Benamozegh
Liberal approach based in part on teachings rooted in Jewish mysticism. Assumes that current religions are distorted Bnei Noach faiths.
Chabad
Liberal approach based in part on teachings rooted in Jewish mysticism. Assumes that current religions are false and obstacles to the emergence of a true noahide faith.
Rambam
Conservative and described as "harsh" approach, decreeing capital punishment for the smallest crimes.
Rabbi Soloveitchik
Conservative and isolationist approach. Held by the majority of halachic Jews today. Generally a "live and let live" approach. While denying that either Christianity or Islam qualifies as a noahide faith, it does not require them to change their faith.
Tosafists
Liberal approach based what appear to be compromises for comercial and social reasons. Assumes that current religions are distorted Bnei Noach faiths.
