The difference between the DR on 0 & 100 is very negligible - it drops from 0 to 99, then is almost reset with the way gain is handled when you get to 100, giving you the pretty much the same range on both.

In the most basic terms, DR is the range from the darkest to brightest in an image above the background read noise, which is why it goes back up when the read noise drops significantly at 100 gain. A high DR is always good and either setting will give it to you.
