I am told by my sysprogs that Fault Analyzer requires the ADATA output file of the compiler to be allocated in the production JCL in order to analyze production abends the first time they occur. This is a non-starter for us, thousands of JCL's would have to change. YMMV.
I recommend you investigate Macro4 products, InSync to replace FileAid and DumpMaster to replace Abend/AID. DumpMaster captures dump info from a production abend without any extra JCL required, and production dump analysis only requires copying the matching compiler listing into their VSAM listing database. No ADATA required. Highly recommended. We use Intertest for interactive debugging instead of Xpediter, but I'm not sure what the differences are in that case. It's been too long since I worked in an Xpediter shop. Cole Software (the z/XDC assembler debugger folk) has a new product z/XPF for performance analysis. It would be worth your time to take a look, given the high quality of Cole Software products and support.
