Use whatever the defaults are in each version; this is usually 3 lives and extends at 150,000 and 400,000, but not always. Playing on the 2P side makes the game somewhat easier in at least the arcade and PlayStation versions.
Raiden is supposed to have checkpoints. For the arcade version, the new set 1 does have checkpoints, while the new set 2 (which is the old main set) doesn't; other sets typically don't have checkpoints, for some reason. For the PlayStation version, the Japanese version has checkpoints at all times, while the American version has a toggle that defaults to off; please enable checkpoints!
The Mega Drive conversion has a "Free" difficulty hidden in the code. This has similar behavior to Hard difficulty, but every enemy has way more health. To access it, use PAR codes 000858:0003 and 00086C:0003.
For some reason, the US release of the SNES conversion is different. sigh
If I cared enough, I'd just split all the conversions into a separate thread, which would also justify splitting at least the arcade and PlayStation versions by player side. Oh well.

Similar to Cho Ren Sha, the arcade version (only?) refers to the final stage of a loop as the zeroth stage of the next: for example, what would be 1-8 is written as 2-0.
