Okay here is what I learned. In short they are interchangeable.
One book I have says guar gum is usually cheaper but can also have more of a laxative effect than xanthan gum. That said I think I'll just stick with xanthan gum.
Another book I have states that she uses xanthan gum in virtually all baked goods except cakes that don't use much fat. For those recipes she uses guar gum.
