My recent bikes have all been SRAM and Rockshox just out of coincidence. The last bike I ordered with XT and Fox. Similar level component spec so I could compare/contrast them. It was really the only way I thought I could speak intelligently about the differences.
If anyone cares I think that the XT shifting works better than the GX. I know they aren't exactly the same level spec. I would have to say that the Lyrik and Reverb have been better than the 36 and Transfer. I think Shimano is also winner the brake comparison but it's hard to say with them being at different stages of pad/disk life. That's my thoughts after 6 months or so of back to back riding. The differences are all minimal really.
