Precache generic is used to precache generic file types. Example: with precache_generic you can do:

What you cannot do with precache_generic? You can't precache a sound file correctly, instead use precache_sound.


On the other hand,
precache_model is used to pre-load a model that is going to be used. It is often used for sprites as well. As it comes to sprites, it makes no difference. Sometimes you might encounter errors, sometimes you may not. I suggest you using it as an alternative to precache_model, if it's sprite-specific.

precache_generic, to precache any other sound than .wav, wad files, txt files, weapon hud sprites (e.g. sprites/640hud15.spr), etc.

precache_model, to precache models and the sprites that will be used with temporary entities or set as an entity's model.
