Sucralose is way sweeter, doesn't have the same taste, and doesn't really cook like sugar. Sure, it'll do OK (diluted with some starch) in your muffins and it'll sweeten your coffee, but you aren't going to use that to caramelize the top of anything either. I'm not sure if I've ever commonly seen Xylitol for home use: Most commonly, I've seen it in chewing gum and such things as it seems it is good for teeth. It can cause gas and loose stools, though - a common issue with artificial sweetners (Sorbitol causes both my spouse and I issues: We know when we've eaten too much of the "wrong" candy by the foul smelling apartment air).
