As for better xterms, have you tried Terminal.app? I much prefer it
over xterm, though obviously it can't be used from a remote machine.
I don't like Terminal much - I have difficulty getting colour support
to
work in remote applications (and even some local ones). Plus, I like
xterm's mouse-based cut and paste paradigm, which Terminal.app does not
support (although you can drag stuff around, which is nice).
I use gnome-terminal a lot:
1) You can download an aqua-like theme for GTK, so it doesn't look too
out of place
2) Unlike xterm, but like Terminal.app, it can spawn multiple windows
from a single process
3) It recognises URLs, and you can Ctrl-click them to launch them in
your OS X web browser (once you have configured the default handler to
be 'open "%s"' in gnome control center). Very nice, albeit it's a bit
buggy with the current X11.app, and I've filed a report with Apple
about
that.
Other terminals you can try are the KDE terminal, and rxvt.

Eterm is my all-time favorite, at least until aterm makes it into fink.
eterm + blackbox is what I've been using, and the only issue I have
involves not being able to tell the wm that the screen starts 23 pixels
down (but instead having some windows open behind the menu-bar.
It's not very mac-like, but extremely usable and speedy.
