performance? i have both, have no problems with them.
value for money? xt is 25% cheaper
shimano if you have shimano drivetrain, truvativ if you have sram.
stylo has shiny metal rings and gloss black crank arms, may not look nice on your matt black frame

Blackjams, I thought you already have the XT Hollowtech II? actually yes - i have already an XT hollowtech crank and i have a Stylo too - but only the old model and not the GXP. i just seem to like the looks of the new GXP stylo. performance wise - both are working great for me - no problems of whatsoever i just want to solicit your own personal reviews guys

XT all the way...It's light, strong and reliable, but eventhough I broke the plastic fixing bolt... my mistake... GXP is heavier, with better Q factor but mine got rusted on the BB axle on the right side arm...

On other hand, GXP doesn't need a plastic hex tool to loosen or remove the cranks... ;D

XT you need a special tools to install it which will cost you additional 1K bucks, since the plastic is inluded in the XT tools when you bought it... It is also a hassle if you don't have the tools when you want to open and maintain your bike....

The Surface finished of the GXP is not good as XT... The Ti color or the black finish will faded by your sweat...
