The two are pretty much equivalent. The jaxws:client thing is just a namespace handler that configures a JaxWsProxyFactoryBean in pretty much the same way as the second form you have. The advantage of the jaxws:client is that some parts of it can be schema validated at parse time and such and is generally a bit more self describing. Either should work.
See http://cxf.apache.org/faq.html for the second question.
