I actually prefer the xmen film series costumes over the comic costumes. Well, X1, x2, and x3. First Class there was NOTHING I liked about it. As anyone who has been to a comics convention can tell you, Wolverine's yellow and blue spandex costume does NOT translate into 3D well, especially the silly mask.
Wolverine's costume was very faithful, with the "stripes" details, and Cyclops' with the large blue "X" similar to his original X-Factor costume... Jean, Storm, and Rogue's costumes were very disappointing, and could have use a little more flair from the comics...

As for Avengers whupping Xmen, well, think about it for half a second... with the exception of Ruffalo's Hulk, each character has had at least one or two movies prior to Avengers, and had an excited fanbase, then you stick them all together, and you have 7 or 8 characters the audience knows and loves all on screen together, interacting... With X-Men, the ONLY characters who get ANY development or screentime are Wolverine and Magneto. The non-fandom audience got no feel for the other characters. In fact, most of the other characters ONLY contribution was 3 seconds on screen to show their power effect off, then they stepped aside to let Hugh Jackman or Ian McKellen take over.

In any case, just be thankful we are no longer in the days of Joel Schumacher Batman movies, Howard the Duck, Steel, or Godawful Spawn movies. If the "worst" I have to put up with is a Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern, I consider myself very blessed indeed now.
