In my opinion I prefer the XD simply because it seems to fit my short fat fingers better than a Glock. To really start a war if I were going to get a .45 I would get a 1911. Glocks and XD's are for 9MM and .40.
My next gun is going to be Dan Wesson Bobtail Commander.
I read an article where a writer put an XD through the same torture test Glock uses on their pistols. He bought his XD off the shelf to be sure he didn't get a hand-built custonm gun. He put 10,000 rounds through the gun, using the identical tests used by Glock. he did not have one F2F or any other malfunction, even after breaking the cocked striker indicator.
It's your basic "Ford vs. Chevy" argument. I personally like the Glock due to the reputation, reliability and the wide use by law enforcment agencies. Some might argue "low bid", but you don't hear of any failures of the Glock despite the "low" price.
With that said, I've shot both side by side and still prefer the Glock. Don't like the excessive "safety features" on the XD. My recommendation would be to have your friend shoot both guns and decide which one fits him best. Don't be like the great majority of gun owners and decide after you've purchased the gun that you don't like it.
