My own rule of thumb was until recently "use XPath to find nodes and to compute atomic values, use XSLT to create new nodes". But with the introduction of xsl:sequence, I've started avoiding really long (20-line) path expressions, and have taken to breaking them up either by using xsl:for-each and xsl:choose or by calls on stylesheet functions.
