I haven't used xscope in ages. I don't know if modern xscope does extensions. The main advantage to WireShark is it shows network-level problems (packet retransmissions, reset packets, et al) that xscope doesn't (since xscope only works at the X protocol level IIRC). The main disadvantage is that stock WireShark does not handle X extensions. There is a patch to add extension support (based on XCB, so it should stay as up-to-date as XCB is), but it hasn't been applied yet: https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2981 (I'd say "please vote", but they don't appear to have enabled voting...)
