Stock - better battery, less bugs, more bloat.
Custom - More features, less battery, bugs, next to zero bloat.

There's barely bloatware on stock, and you can simply disable that few bloat that's still there.
Barely. There are tons of Xposed modules, you can virtually do everything that you could with a custom ROM, except for a few exceptions.
The only feature I can think of right now that I'd actually use and can't achieve the same thing with an Xposed module is PA's Hover. Obviously there must be more custom rom exclusive features, but I think most of us can find everything in an Xposed module.
With that said, I think you're better off with stock + Xposed, unless you can find a custom rom with a feature that's a must for you and you can't find a similar module.
Xposed makes rom slower than a custom rom with same features . Also tweakes in Custom ROM is said to increase battery backup. Gravity Box is a heavy module which takes considerable CPU.
I can say from experience that battery consumption on custom roms are a bit lighter then stock with xposed modules running. Let's say I've got a 10,6%/h consumption (just now, 1h screentime doing my standard stuff) while on stock with xposed I had 11,8 to 12,4%/h.
I guess it comes down to what you consider bloat. I consider all that Moto crap bloat, and there is quiet a bit of moto crap. Even worst it get's updated and takes of space in system and user. And I am not going to argue custom rom features, that do not exist in stock.
I consider those bloat too, but there's not that much of it. Sure you could find 10-15 apps in Settings/Apps/All that wouldn't be there on a Nexus, but if you disable Motorola Assist, Motorola Migrate you're mostly done. There are more Motorola "apps" besides these, but you won't notice any more of them.
If you really need space you can delete them in under 5 minutes, so yeah, I agree that there's some bloat, but it's not that much that you'll need to flash a custom rom. Obviously if you want to flash a custom rom because of some extra features then the lack of bloat is a plus.
