If most of the tiles are showing up, I'd suggest wiping out your local cache and trying again to see if it might be possible that Xastir cached some bad tiles during your experimentation.

Another thing to try if you're not getting tiles with some of the OSM options is to change zoom level to see if maybe they don't have tiles for some zooms.  I remember seeing that.

I stick to the tiled maps since that's a newer method in Xastir and works much better than the non-tiles OSM methods.  It's easier to get tiles and stitch them together than it is to do a long download of a large map that fits the entire screen.
