IMHO...

I've used both, and xineliboutput is arguably easier to get working as you 
only need the standard xine-lib for your repo, but....

I've chosen over the years to use vdr-xine as it seems to give the most 
options to change the front end, as it uses the standard one.  I start it 
with:

xine --no-splash -Bfpqg -r anamorphic -V 
xv 
-Dtvtime:method=Greedy2Frame,cheap_mode=0,pulldown=0,use_progressive_frame_flag=1
 
 --post vdr_video --post vdr_audio vdr://tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes 
 > /dev/null 2>&1

It's served me well for 5 years...
