X-Perl vs Pitbull

Well, my Warlock and I have decided to replace our unit frames.
I was originally going to go with X-Perl, but I've read a little about Pitbull here and there and now I'm thinking that one sounds cooler. The only problem is, I haven't seen many screenshots of Pitbull (seen quite a few of X-Perl though).
Really the only thing that has me sold on the cool unit frames is the 3D moving portrait, which from what I understand both the addons do have. So it comes down to your guys' opinion.
Things I would like to have are:
- Efficiency. My computer's not slow, but I don't want a sloppily coded addon.
- Customization. I like things 'my way'. Can't really think of anything specific though...
- Cool Factor. I wouldn't mind people saying "Wow! Kool Unitz Framezz!".
I guess I'm looking for pro's and con's of both, and why I should pick one over the other.
Thanks in advance for your input!

X-Perl is for people who are satisfied with the functionality it offers out of the box.
Pitbull is for people who crave customization and find happiness in watching memory and CPU usage meters.
I use X-Perl. It does what I want and it takes hardly any effort from me to get it to do so.

It's hardly about watching memory -.- Although minimal usage is nice. Unit frame is a simple choice:
If you want superficial customization and ease of use, take Mac\Blizzard's UI.
If you want some customization without having to work too much at it, Windows\X-Perl\most unit frames.
If you want as much control as possible, with user-friendliness a distant second priority, Linux\Pitbull.

I ran with x-perl for quite a while. I loved the look of it, it was easy to use, and I loved the animated frames.
However, I never really paid any attention to my memory usage and when I did I switched to Pitbull. It's a bit confusing at first, but when I took the time to read over it and get all my settings correct, I don't think I'll be switching for a long time.

You definitely said it with a bit less venom than I did :). Sahrie.
