There is a recently posted talk from TUG 2008 (at the link below) that answers a lot of questions about synctex (at that page "find synctex", cuz it's near the bottom of a long page). Basically, watching this, it is clear that synctex is superior to pdfsync, but it's still under development.
Haven't watched the video yet but I do have confirmation from Jonathan Kew that the typesetting isn't affected by it:
"Yes, as far as I know it is impossible for synctex to affect the layout. It does not create any new nodes within TeX's data structures; it merely adds information to the existing nodes, but TeX's algorithms are completely unaffected (unlike --src-specials or pdfsync)."
