Compiz is the upstream original, Beryl is a fork.
Compiz uses gconf which is pretty standard and works well with gnome obviously, Beryl uses flat file.
Beryl has (had?) some additional plugins, but plugins are being written for compiz all the time as well, look at compiz-extras.
Beryl has a theme manager, compiz uses cairo, metacity, or KDE themes.
They look the same to me but Compiz just seems to be the better integrated of the two.
Add: Beryl supports dual head xinerama properly. Compiz does not.
Compiz is preferred here otherwise, but no dual head is a show stopper.

Beryl supports this via a nasty hack as I'm to understand. Dave Reveman opposed including it in Compiz as he was working on a non-hack solution, which is present in the development version of Compiz (currently available in your Fedora Development repo and thus in F7). Ergo, a complete non-issue unless you have bugzilla entries to show me wrong?
