Actually, FuseQ is completely compatible with existing FB3 apps. The only difference is you can call multiple fuseactions with one page request. This does open up a LOT of new possibilities; however, you can still use the "plain-Jane" FB3 methods people are using now. Allpme.com is using FuseQ and I only have about 5 FrontOfQ calls in the entire site. The rest is "standard" FB3.
I see FuseQ as more of a transition similar to moving from C to C++. Bjorne Soustroup wrote that he expected people to slowly migrate from C to C++ and not jump in 100% C++ right away. FuseQ let's you add a little new functionality and "test the water" before re-writing anything. I haven't looked at FEX yet but it's my understanding that files to handle errors are loaded whether or not errors are present. FuseQ doesn't have that extra overhead. I'll be looking at FEX soon to compare, but so far, I've been really pleased with FuseQ. John is feverishly working to finish up getting an article about FuseQ ready to post with the code. He said probably tomorrow evening but let him catch up after last weekend too.

But the way that each is implemented (specific modifications to the core), you probably can't. FuseQ (as I see it) does things quite differently than plain-jane FB3 does now - the way you think about apps might change some to fully utilize its power. FEX just fixes the crappy error handling in FB3. But the best bet would be to evaluate both (once FuseQ becomes available) and use whichever you felt solved your problems best.
