What I heard from the list is that XeTeX is bleeding edge development compared to the good old and stable TeX engine. The output may be quite different since XeTeX uses fancier typographic choices by default (somewhat similar to 'microtype'). It also eases up life if you need to combine various Unicode characters in your documents, although XeTeX can also be used with "normal" LaTeX fonts. I guess best would be to read up their documentation and search on the internet.
