The Asus models have the distinct advantage that they're USB-only, smaller, and easier to mount than the Kinect. The disadvantage is that you need to pay attention to how you support it when mounting; the mounting tab on the Asus will break in high-stress or high-vibration environments if it isn't properly supported, but this is still easier than mounting a kinect.

Depth and RGB from both sensors work well with the OpenNI drivers in ROS Electric.

Note that the Asus Xtion Pro is depth-only, while the Asus Xtion Pro Live has both depth and RGB.

I believe the stereo microphones on the Asus Xtion Pro Live are supported with the OpenNI driver, but I don't think there's ROS support for them yet.
