PdfTex requires cumbersome typeface-by-typeface setups and XeTeX has troubles working with the microtype package. At least this was the situation until a couple of years ago when I switched to LuaTeX. Perhaps things have changed now? I remember XeTeX was slowly catching up on the microtype features it supported, but I haven't really followed its evolution closely.
