only difference between the ESP-12E and ESP-12F is the antenna shape. The antenna of the newer ESP-12F is supposedly better optimized.

NodeMCU is an ESP-12E or ESP-12F based board with added power and serial circuitry. It is a bit more expensive than a plain ESP-12E or ESP-12F, but it is easier to get started.
