Tusq XL has the lubricating material impregnated into the nut. Any time I need a nut replacement I have been using the TUSQ XL and find them superior to anything else. they do enable your guitar to ring out a bit more acoustically. I don't find them any easier or more difficult to work with than bone. I can see a bone nut being less forgiving if not cut properly and all things between the two materials identical because the bone nut will not have the teflon so strings potentially could hang up etc a bit easier.

I find that working and shaping Tusq and bone nuts takes about the same amount of effort. I personally prefer the bone, but not so much that I would replace a Tusq nut that was installed on a guitar with bone. If it needed to be replaced, I would more than likely go with bone or buffalo horn (depending on what color I wanted). If I didn't have bone and horn blanks, I would personally try to get graphite nut blanks before buying Tusq.

Unless your nut is broken, just leave it alone.
If your nut IS broken, the Tusq XL is an excellent choice for a replacement part.
