I've been getting my friends into Paranoia, and so far they seem to love playing as Troubleshooters.
I've been looking through the IntSec and High Programmer books too. While Intsec fundamentally seems a lot like Troubleshooter, High Programmer is totally different. High Programmer focuses on politics over zany slapstick and has a totally different method of play.
I'm wondering from those of you who have played, what are the good parts and the bad parts of it? How does it play differently than Troubleshooter? And how RP heavy is it? It seems more so than Troubleshooter or Intsec, but I'm not completely sure.

I have not played either, however there is a thread on RPG.net that discusses many of the same things: The RPG.NET thread on the topic
However, on reading it only the first comment is useful to you, so I am going to quote the relevant parts here:
Other comments in that thread indicate that the Official Paranoia Development Blog has information on the designers goals with each system.
I hope this helps, it seemed a shame to have this thread with no answers for so long.
