I have tried XAMPP. The extra P stands for Perl, so if you need it you can go for XAMPP.

Both are easy to setup. Your best bet would be test both and see which one suits you best.

XAMPP or WAMP themselves absolutely aren't much differen't , XAMPP comes with Perl, appropriately the extra P, if you are going to use Perl go with XAMPP, if Perl isn't part of your agenda then go with WAMP.

I like XAMPP, because of the extra P (it installs Perl as well as PHP), plus it has both PHP4 and PHP5 with a utility for switching between which version you want to use.

WAMP is an acronym formed from the initials of the operating system Microsoft Windows and the principal components of the package: Apache, MySQL and one of PHP, Perl or Python. Apache is a web server. MySQL is an open-source database. PHP is a scripting language that can manipulate information held in a database and generate web pages dynamically each time content is requested by a browser. Other programs may also be included in a package, such as phpMyAdmin which provides a graphical user interface for the MySQL database manager, or the alternative scripting languages Python or Perl. Equivalent packages are MAMP (for the Apple Mac) and LAMP (for the Linux operating system).

WAMP runs on Windows and XAMPP is multi-platform.
