It seems XZ support has been included in 1.0.21, as can be seen at:
debootstrap (1.0.21) unstable; urgency=low

* Apply patch from Clint Adams <sch...@debian.org> to add support for

About the use of xz I see no reason to use for base packages as it
has following consequences:
* bigger memory footprint;
* xz dependecy in host;
Specially the extra xz dependency can be problematic when using
debootstrap in non-Debian systems.
