As for realism, I believe you guys since you've played them both. But one advantage that FS has over X-Plane is its third party support. It's good for eye candy. hehe
I doubt the X-Plane community is quite as large as FS, but there is an X-Plane Community .

As for stability, it will work with all systems but you will get less visual resolution, frame rate will decrease and scenery detail will decrease with cheaper equipment. You can see what they recommend on their website, but I have a stock Dell XPS 400 that churns along fine running X-Plane. You do need to experiment with the settings quite a bit for best results.
