Mac Pro has always been PCI-express. It was the G5 PowerMac that was PCI-X to begin with, and it was the very last generation (late-2005) models that got PCI-express.
If you're choosing PCI-X you're choosing very old host workstation or expansion chassis or PC or Hackintosh which not many of us would like to recommend, with the exception of expanded systems if you need/want more than three cards.
(that said, I have a spare system G5 with PCI-X cards running PT8.0.1 and it's really usable. hard to get plugin support anymore but other than that it's workable solution)
