I agree with Jack on the fact that the xquartz development improved the
"official" X11. The latest softwareupdated X11 on Leopard has several
bug fixes for the user interface from early xquartz releases. And the
official X11 on Snow Leopard has all the fixes from xquartz before 2.4.0.

This concerns, for example, the new copy-paste system, or the 
interaction with Spaces. And there is the wrapper script in 
/Applications/Utilities/X11.app that runs X11 in a correct login 
environment for all known login shells. This was the result of a 
collaborative effort on the x11-users and xquartz-dev lists, put into 
xquartz by Jeremy. And it is now in the system X11 on Snow Leopard.

I doubt if such improvments of the user interface will still happen when 
  xquartz lives in /opt/X11.
