Most people prefer to use Lua over XML. I really don't see any proof either way on long term performance impacts. The idea was that XML was for static UI structures while you'd use Lua for creating dynamic frames. With nearly everything being supported in Lua, pretty much everyone has phased out XML. I think the tree-like XML structure is easier to read and understand in this fashion than lines of linear Lua code. That's just my preference though. It's up to you to decide which way you want to go.
