you can see both in gnus : ensure you have compface package installed.

as for the rest : I guess many would say x-face since its B&W and less
bandwidth : although, frankly, times and bandwidths have changed - it
depends if you want to appease those with very, very bandwidth. Even an
x-face uses bytes - but can be very small (relatively) too.
