So I have a fairly general question. I am using XSLT 2.0 and am
interested in creating user defined functions. Which construct is better
to use... xsl:function or a named template?

Indeed fairly general, but not easy to answer.

My preference here is to ask the question - Does the proposed "function" have side effects?

If yes, use xsl:call-template, if not use xsl:function.
