We use Cocoon.

We currently use Cocoon 2.1 and I have worked with Cocoon 2.2 in my 
spare time.

In both cases, you will find the learning curve for cocoon quite large 
early on, but  once you get your head matches and pipelines it is 
actually quite easy.

From what I remember of XProc, it is similar, in the sense you can 
create pipelines, but if I remember correctly, the definition of a 
generator is limited. In Cocoon you can generate XML using any source 
(database, XML files, etc)  and you have far more transformations 
options available to you.

The biggest con with Cocoon is managing the beast. Cocoon 2.2 does 
configuration/application management better, but it has fewer (stable) 
features.

I can give you a better assessment if you give me more info on XProc and 
what you are trying to do.
