Try it yourself, it's free
XBMCbuntu is a minimal Ubuntu with XBMC + Desktop (Lubuntu)
OpenElec is XBMC only on a very small Linux Kernel
Benefit from XBMCbuntu is, you have a Desktop and you can use Tools/Drivers for Ubuntu.
Benefit from OpenElec (if you have the right Hardware), you can set it um in 2 min and just use it.
You can also use ubuntu minimal + XBMC, when you don't want a Desktop: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=165707
