I've used both, including both nylon and wood Xoars. It is impossible to pick a favorite. Both seem to work well for certain applications.

I recently tried a 14x8 Xoar on a plane that I normally use an APC 14x8 on. I like the APC better. I had another plane where I liked the Xoar better.

Same goes for other brands too.<br type="_moz" />
