You're somewhat confused. The X in Xemacs does not refer to the X window
system.
It is a configuration option whether to include X support and I would guess
that most people do not include X when building under Cygwin.
I have both. emacs-20.7/bin/emacs.exe is 3769006 bytes and the stripped
xemacs-21.4.3.exe is 4150272 bytes, hardly enough difference to prefer one
over the other.
However, there are packages which only run on one or the other. Pick your
favorite.
