I initially, like i'm sure everyone else, started using XSP as that seemed to be all there was. Then I discovered JXT and flowscript! What can I say... I changed all of my XSP over to JXT, which made the code a lot easier and lighter. XSP seems to be very convoluted for example in the way in which you pass parameters into and out of it! The benefits of Flowscript (MVC) are self explanatory, and I would be very surprised if cocoon is not pushed in this direction.
All of the components that you mention, generators etc etc..., can all be used with JXT as well as far as I'm aware.
I just think it would be a good idea to start standardising on some core technologies within the cocoon framework, instead of stumbling across these various technologies as time goes by!

Do you have experience of using?
I am also wondering the same thing (see the other thread on
"Using JXTemplates\JXForms at the same time). I have used
XSP up to now (as it was 'all there was' in earlier Cocoon
versions. I think much of the documentation also reflects that history.
For example: the user menu on the website also reflects this bias towards XSP:
Sitemap Components -Generators -Transformers -Serializers -Matchers -Selectors -Actions -Readers
Control Flow -XSP
No mention here at all of JXT ;-(
Unfortunately the examples on the Cocoon site, show JXT being used in a way that remind óne of JSP - emdedding logic in an HTML web page" - this put me off even learning it all! See: http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/flow/jxtemplate.html#macro
PERSONAL OBSERVATION:
I think that all the examples on the site, where info is generated, should
avoid HTML if at al possible - HTML (or HTML or WML) should only appear
as a result of XSLT step....
