There is no single preferred mechanism that works for all JAXB usage
scenarios.
Our general thinking was:
a. If interace/impl classes then the ObjectFactory method is used.
b. if value classses are generated (default for JAXB 2.0), then either the
ObjectFactory method or new X() may be used.
JAXB 1.0 applications being migrated to JAXB 2.0 and may prefer to
continue
to use the ObjectFactory method while new applications written for
JAXB 2.0
would prefer to use the new X() constructor.

If you start from schema, it might be more convenient to initialize
JAXBContext with a context
path that takes a list of packages names derived from schema.
If you start from java, it might be more convenient to initialize
JAXBContext with a list
of classes.
See section 4.2, "JAXBContext" in the JAXB 2.0 Proposed Final Draft
specification
for an overview. You can obtain a copy of the specification from
http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=222 .
