Hi Kareem,
It depends on which stroke you are talking about and in which situation. They can both be very effective in different situations.

what about out of the backspin reverse pendulem serve against Ma Lin or the sidespin reverse pendulem serve against Ma Lin?
I think the backspin is more effective as it is more difficult for the opponent to attack. However i twill depend on the opponent you are playing at the time. Each opponent has strengths and weaknesses. You will have to see which serve that opponent doesn't like. Try them both against the opponent early in the match.
