DocBook defines exactly what xref means.  You can rely on different tool 
chains to do the same thing with it.  As I read this:

	http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/olink.html

...the meaning of olink is open to interpretation, so you should only 
use it if it does something you need that xref won't, and your current 
tool chain happens to support it.

If by "modular" you mean "assembled from multiple DocBook files via 
XIncludes," then I'd say xref is clearly the way to go.
