Go with X, for the following reasons:
1) You can then use other X based suites (such as Staden's gap4) as
well
2) SeqWeb does not support batch running of jobs
3) SeqLab is free, SeqWeb is not
4) SeqLab has a much better interface, and more flexible handling of
options
5) SeqLab allows users to manipulate files in their home directories,
I understand that SeqWeb does not.
