The XD fits my hand like a glove, while the Glocks are not really that comfortable to hold.
Also, the Glock requires exquisite trigger discipline to avoid a negligent discharge, while the XD has a little more to offer with its grip safety - this is something to consider for CCW purposes.
Kind of as a side note - the Glock 30 is an excellent pistol; I do not really like Glocks, but the Model 30 sets the standard in subcompact firepower - it is hard to argue with something that is about the size of my hand that holds 10 rounds of .45ACP, and... it is comfortable to hold too, unlike its full-size brethren.
So... I find that I prefer the XD over Glock due to the fact that I find them more comfortable to shoot and that the safety features of the XD offer more protection than the safety features of the Glock.
