As far as I know Content Deployment Wizard is a windows app which uses Prime API which is used by OOTB content deployment.. so wizard will also fail if OOTB fails.
stsadm -o export gives same results as ContentDeploymentWizard the difference is in import where Wizard lets you retain guids etc of the object, while OOTB stsadm -import does not have a option to retain guids. There is extension written by gary Laopinte stsadm -gl import2 which lets you do preserve object identity.
