I usually use both.
I use bestieros early fortress and then cassadors once i hit industrial. Early game bestieros are much better than fortress cassadors. They hold up better to cav and artillery. Late game after upgrade cards cassadors start to shine.
I also let my resources dictate. If I am on a map that has no gold and setting up plantations is not yet reasonable I will be spamming bestieros non-stop even into industrial. I will use my food/wood eco as much as possible till I can secure some gold.
Once cassadors get some upgrade cards combined with a nice food/gold eco musketeers can be added to the mix for a great combo.

Against infantry, Cassadores are better due to their .60 pierce armor. In equal numbers, Cassadores should beat skirmishers...I think...

Generally speaking I think x-bows are better. Better vs other LI, better vs villies, better vs calv & arty. Only thing that Cassadores are generally better at (and they are much better) are HI.
