Its not a very simple question.

Wine is free.
CrossOver costs money.

CrossOver: Uses Wine plus hacked up versions of Wine to run some programs better then pure Wine.
CrossOver: Has a nice gui for using it and it makes use of multipliable wine prefix.
CrossOver: CrossOver people pay for Wines website hosting and help with writing Wine.

Wine: Not much to say, anything that CrossOver can do wine can do it but you need to find patch and compile wine.	   	


I think you need to think about this list:
Does your program work under Wine?
Is your program covered by CrossOver?
Do you have the money for CrossOver?
Do you have the time / skill to hack about with Wine?


I do not have CrossOver. All the programs I want to run under wine I can or are not covered by CrossOver.
