Compare them yourself: Qoob vs XenoGC

Here's a somewhat outdated grid which compares them all: ModThatCube BIOS Comparison

Basically the XenoGC is a modchip for the drive, whilst a Qoob is a modchip that overwrites the functionality of the GameCube from power on by offering a BIOS replacement. That being said, they both end up running basically the same code either way at the end when you end up running something like Swiss. I'd recommend a XenoGC in the short term while your drive still works and because they're cheap.
