These are the same camera, Ben. Obviously go for the best price (at an authorized dealer, of course...so you'll get warranty coverage.)

You can get telephoto and wideangle converters (but you cannot change the lens.) Only the Canon XL1s, I think, have interchangable lenses (at this price point.)

If you're on a Mac...iMovie, Final Cut Pro (and Final Cut Express), Avid DVXpress...all should work fine with this camera.

On a PC? Well...I'll let someone else talk about that.

Accessories...get a good tripod, a good carry case (PortaBrace or Kata), a decent external microphone, perhaps...some lights?

P.S. I recently saw some footage from a Canon GL2 camera, which is essentially Canon's rival to Sony's VX2000 (I own a VX2000 by the way), and I have to say I think the GL2 footage looked better than my VX2000 footage. You might want to check out the GL2 before you buy.
