The main difference between Xapo and Bit-X from the others is that your bitcoin balance is converted to fiat at the moment of the transaction (e.g.: purchase), as a real debit card. The other cards have to be preloaded with fiat, i.e., they are prepaid cards. One some of them (e.g.: e-coin) you transfer bitcoins to your account and they are converted to fiat when you decide to load the card; on others (e.g.: advcash) the bitcoins you transfer are converted to fiat when you load the account, and then you have a balance in fiat which you can transfer to the card.
Note that most (I think) don't let you take your funds out of the card and back into your account, once you load the card you have to either spend what you loaded or transfer the balance to another card (for a fee - US$50 in case of Wagecard!).
Also note that while many cards say there are no loading fees, the exchange rate they use while loading the card is much lower than the market. Check the websites (after registering and logging in - e-coin is particularly misleading in that aspect).

I'm not sure about Xapo but Bit-x.com is MasterCard as far as I know and E-coin is Visa , and I prefer using E-coin because It's pretty simple and also you can have both Physical or Digital card . (Virtual is cheaper) and you can also use it to verify some accounts like Paypal account (note that they will automatically send your Paypal balance to your Visa card at the end of each month , at least this is how it works for me) Feel free to ask further questions .
