use the second one, unless you are writing a Jabber client/server. The 
Xish one is more generic, I use it in my apps. Imagine that the XMPP 
session is like one giant XMPP msg/document, it's root element/node is 
<stream/>, a session must be opened by each party if it's bidirectional :

Client Server
| <stream> |
|----------------------------------------->|
| | open the session
| <stream> |
|<-----------------------------------------|
| |
| <msg>.....</msg> |
|----------------------------------------->|
| | exchange msgs (as many as you want)
| <msg>.....</msg> |
|<-----------------------------------------|
| |
| </stream> |
|----------------------------------------->|
| | close the session when done
| </stream> |
|<-----------------------------------------|
| |


I hope this helps,
Gabriel
