They start from different places.
This is the XDAndroid official build, and as I understand it, it is based on the official Android Open Source Project from Google, ported to our phones.
The Froyo X build is based on the ROM from a HuaWei phone, with parts from other builds, including the official XDAndroid builds, mixed in.
Overall, the XDAndroid builds are closer to stock, while the FroyoX builds are more customized. For example, the XDAndroid builds only have the stock apps, whereas the FroyoX builds are bundled with a bunch of apps tiad8 likes. Because the XDAndroid builds are closer to stock, they're easier to support and develop/bugfix for, because there are a lot more unaccounted variables in FroyoX.
From an end user perspective, listening to the fans of each side, it seems like FRX04 is more stable, while FroyoX is tweaked to be faster. However, keep in mind that almost all of the problems listed in my big list of known issues are actually kernel/driver level issues, which apply to all builds.
