Looks like my understanding is outdated.  openSUSE is using AIGLX, not
XGL.  And what openSUSE uses is what I consider to have "won". 

<quote source="http://en.opensuse.org/Compiz">
Up to and including openSUSE 10.2 Compiz only works in combination with
Xgl. But from 10.3, Xorg alone is enough. ... Beginning with Compiz
version 0.3.7 in the Factory and 10.2-Xorg7.2 trees it will run also
with AIGLX out-of-the-box....

So it looks like there has been a clear winner @
