Re: Which would you pick and why...?
Assuming they both fit you well and you can shoot them then...
If you want a great looking gun and are satisfied with a lower round count (with reloads) then get the EMP.
If you want a not pretty gun with higher round count (with reloads) get the XD.
All other arguements are moot in modern conceal carry handguns.
It really just comes down to looks and round count.
But, I for one, am not counting on looks.

Re: Which would you pick and why...?
XD
Round count
XD
Loaded with 10 round mag +1
Spare mag = 16
Total 27 rounds
EMP
Loaded with 9+1
Spare mag = 9
Total = 19
Basically a two for one with additional mags.
The EMP is pretty and I love the 1911s but for a primary (only?) CCW it would be the XD hands down for me. I have a Defender I love to carry but it stays home most of the time now in favor of the XD and more rounds. I carry 10+1 and 2-16 spares. To do this with the Defender (I know two less rounds than the EMP but you can see my point) I'd have to carry 5 extra spares.
