There are more free modules for XOOPS than Mambo

You can add some things to that:
XOOPS has a cntral site so that it's easier to find stuff
XOOPS is friendlier to upgrade
XOOPS is only one syllable
XOOPS is more "idiot-proof" in general
And of course, then there's personal preference. I, personally, can't stand mambo's system for themes and its administration enviroment keeps me awake at night for fear of nightmares. If I were forced to make a site that used mambo, I could do it, but it would take forever. Mambo is not the way that I think. XOOPS is exactly the way a cms should be, to me.
Before choosing one or the other, try to do a site in both and then compare how things worked out. It's more time consuming than reading a review, but there is no better teacher than experience.
