GX vs X01 derailleur/shifter

Looking to upgrade the derailleur/shifter on my daughters XC bike which currently has NX on there now. Was planning to go GX, but wondering whether its worth the extra $$ it to jump up to X01.

Historically Shimano is my go to so I wanted to swap her to XT, but she prefers the feel of SRAM. Cassette is GX already and chain will be X01 if that matters.

I personally have no experience with Sram Eagle stuff above GX, so I’m not in tune with the differences other than the price which looks like roughly $100 or so difference.

Opinions from those that have experience with each would be appreciated.
 
IMO boosting the shifter up to XO is more impactful than the der.

We might have some takeoffs at the shop if you are nearby.
 
XO will shift better. I think the springs are more precise.
