Neither is inherently "better" or "worse." They are both fully capable of being used as LiveCDs, and can run the same applications. Xubuntu's system requirements are somewhat lighter than Kubuntu's and thus may run better on older computers. Kubuntu contains more visually appealing "eye-candy" and an arguably more feature-filled desktop.
