Both steels got nice reputation. If both steel got great ht how they would compare to each other?
 
Go to testing etc. here in forums. I believe the Elmax will rate higher but is not often available in thinner sizes.

USA Knifemaking just got a shipment of both those steels. Elmax is available in four thickness from .098 to .204
 
I'm not an expert, and I've not used, or for that matter heard of XHP. I like my ZT0566 in elmax. It holds an edge well, a little bit of a bear to recharge. And took some work to reprofile. But I like it for EDC. So that's my .02
