Both are IMHO equally hard to learn at first but the XML/Docbook combo is much easier to adapt to different layout needs (at least I never managed to write my own LaTeX-Stylesheet). A selection of tutorials for docbook can be found at http://docbook.org/wiki/moin.cgi/DocBookTutorials. I found http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/hoenicka_markus/ntsgml.html specially useful which describes the setup of emacs for XML processing (although targeted towards Windows environment).
