Thanks to all for your advice. That helps deciding what to use in
what situation.

I like pure XPath solutions because they are less verbose, but I find
"full" XSLT less restricting and easier to debug (especially when I
want to check what variable holds what value).
...and insert additional instructions like xsl:message or comments, or
allow refactorings at certain points like an apply-templates instead
of just getting the value.
My general guide is use XPath for simple tasks, say an if-then-else,
but when its get past trivial, eg if-then-else-if-then-else, switch to
the longer winded choose/when, as your future self with thank you for
it.
