I'm not sure if your question isn't out of place on this site. At any rate, Visual Studio and Xamarin Studio can hardly be compared. The former one is a full-fledged, mature juggernaut of an IDE. Unsurprisingly, a bit of a resource hog along with it, still one of the best IDEs in the world.
I used Xamarin Studio on OSX for about a month (just last March). My experience was abysmal. I mean no disrespect for its creators, but I found it:
- extremely unstable (crashing a lot),
- with lots of irritating visual quirks (eg. the drop-down filenames list for file search popping up beyond the screen edge in full-screen mode, or the text cursor going missing),
- user-unfriendly (for instance the ridiculous exception details dialog, in which you need to click your way deep into the inheritance tree only to see the actual exception message)
- and far behind Visual Studio in terms of pretty much every functionality I could think of, starting with poor refactoring capabilities.
With latest acquisition, I'd expect things to turn around, but Xamarin Studio isn't there yet. I recommend Visual Studio.

Visual Studio is probably your best IDE for .Net development in general, plus you have the ability to install 3rd party extensions such as Resharper that can boost productivity and code quality in general.
Choosing Xamarin Studio on Mac would allow you to open your storyboard in Xcode and edit it, run your app on iOS Simulators which you wouldn't be able to do on Windows. Dependency injection xamarin visual studio for mac. ( you could build your iOS app from Visual Studio using a remote mac: link)
