Both of the XML formats (sblgnt and OSIS) are better than plain text as the words are already marked up. But of the two, I think the sblgnt XML version is probably the best format to use for our uses in the Open Scriptures models. It marks up puncutation in <suffix> elements (not sure why they're called "suffix"), whereas the OSIS XML format encodes punctuation in bare text nodes. It seems like the sblgnt XML format encodes the most information?
As for a general OSIS importer, the wide variety of OSIS encoding styles I think would make a general OSIS importer pretty difficult. In fact I think this is just what the CrossWire guys have already done with their osis2mod tool. So if we wanted to make a general importer, we should target the SWORD Module format which is normalized OSIS with a special encoding. This would probably be a very worthwhile effort.
