The m&p .40 can interchange 9mm and 357sig barrels. S&w makes a .22 only m&p and im not sure if the 45 can do barrel swaps but i dont think any1 makes barrels of different caliber for the 45.
Like the Glocks, the M&P 45 is a completely different frame from the smaller calibers

I would think the breech face would become an issue as well as extractor once you hit 45. Just spit balling here.
Also the mags would be na issue from 45ACP to a smaller caliber.
Of course you can not make a 9mm bbl sized hole take a 40/45 size bbl. You have to go bigger before smaller.

Some 40s will provide you the option of 40, 9x19 and 357Sig.
Some 10mm can provide 10mm, 40 and 357Sig.
Some 38Supers can go 38super, 9x19. 9x221, 9x23 etc. (1911)
Some 9x19s can go 9x19 and 9x21.

Remember that it also depends what you intend to do with it. Either way, defensive or competition, you have some things to weigh. Having owned both, I went with the M&P after owning and shooting XDs for several years. I switched to the M&P for several reasons (all of them defense related) and haven't looked back. At the end of the day, you need to shoot both and then look at one gun's advantages over the other's.

That's for you to decide. I know not much help. Back in SW TX it was XDs and here MPs have a bigger following.

After you shoot both and only if you come to the conclusion that you like both, I would recommend skipping the XD and just go straight to the M&P. If you shoot both and decide you like the XD by a wide margin more than the M&P then go with the XD. You have to want to shoot the gun after you've bought it.

Go to a shooting range and see if you can rent one of each.

Mitch's advice is right on. You need to find a facility that will rent each gun to you so that you can shoot them both. If you have friends who shoot find out if any of them own these guns and ask to try them out. Offer to provide the ammo and I doubt anyone will turn you down. A caveat on the M&P: Try the gun with all of the three available interchangeable backstraps if necessary. Don't impugn the gun's grip if the first grip size you try doesn't work for you.
Something else bears mentioning: If you don't like either of these guns try another and another until you find something that works for you. Good luck!
