As Christian said, ANTLR "only" provides a parser for you. Nothing what you can and have to do *with* the parser. Xtext adds a complete sophisticated infrastructure on top of that and *uses* ANTLR for parsing under the hood. There are some cases where you could leverage ANTLR features which Xtext does not reveal, and Xtext uses ANTLR 3.
In general, Xtext is the way to go unless you have some very specific language requirements that you cannot solve with Xtext easily (and with ANTLR neither). Then you should rethink your language's design or decide to go the hard way and implement everything on top on your own (editor support, build infrastructure etc.). You should consider that Xtext is developing since more than 10 years on that.
