I can't help you with RWR81N59R6FR as it is just a part number.
Simply stated, inductive resisters are the kind made by winding a resistive wire around an insulator. Non-inductive resisters are the type that is NOT made with wound wires. Carbon film resisters are common non-inductive types.
The practical difference is, at DC, they both behave the same, but when you use them in AC circuits, and as you increase the frequency, it starts to behave differently.
A metal of any kind has resistance and inductance. They both behave to prevent current from flowing. Resistance stays constant regardless of frequency. The resistance caused by inductance (called reactance) increases as frequency increase. The end result is, an ability of a resister to inhibit the current flow becomes frequency dependent.
A positive side of inductive resisters are, it is relatively inexpensive for high power applications. (as it is simply a wound wires)
In DC or audio applications, non-inductive types are perfectly fine. However, for radio frequency use, you should NOT use inductive type.
