Some installation packages are just archives so that might work but some are more complicated and I think it would be problematic; check the manufacturers website to see what's available for your hardware.

There are many driver packages around like DriverPacks http://driverpacks.net/ where you can find needed drivers and those can be imported with DIPE.

and one more question, is LiveXp the best "xp from usb" out there ?

It's my favorite of the PE type but there are also full XP on USB which might work better for your specific needs.
