Looks there are not some obvious differences, if you select the Production/Non-Production when creating the account, it will enable/disable Geo-Redundancy and Multi-region Writes for you automatically, but you can still set them manually.
When you creating two accounts that just have different account types, the difference in the portal is the tag named CosmosAccountType, it will be Production or Non-Production, this is the value you can change anytime mentioned in the doc.
Actually, don't worry about this, just select the corresponding type depends on the actual scenario e.g. production or non-production, because it will not affect the underlying Cosmos DB account.
Curious. If it is so, then can't see such minor thing (which would be even more moot when deploying using ARM templates) pass in a design meeting to be implemented at all ;) Smells like "for historic reasons".
@ImrePühvel Yes, you can even remove this tag, it will not cause some differences, looks like it is just a tag as mentioned in the doc
This is an Azure resource tag setting.
