Winstone runs a bunch of mainline windows programs (word processors, spreadsheets, etc) - if you use those sorts of programs, I would think Winstone would be pretty good. Winbench measures processor speed, disk speed, graphics subsystem, etc. I would think running "typical windows applications" (which is what winstone does) is more accurate than running these sorts of tests Quake seems to be a very popular test.
