  v$ views are documented by Oracle, whereas x$ fixed tables are not. So, if programs are written accessing these objects & expect those programs to work across versions then v$views should be preferred.   v$ views are simply externalizing data from x$ fixed tables and not all information from x$ tables are externalized.   Of course, v$fixed_view_definition and v$fixed_table can be used. v$fixed_table.type will tell whether a v$/x$ object is view or fixed table. v$fixed_view_definition will has v$/gv$ view definition.
