I'm currently setting up my Laptop to run with Openbox and fbpanel on ArchLinux. As I want tu use transparency, I was looking for a composite manager.

I have used xcompmgr sometime ago and had no problems so far.

So what are the main differences between those two composite managers? Why should or shouldn't I choose cairo-compmgr over xcompmgr?

I am looking for opinions as well as technical details here :)
