I was planning on getting new tires for my 2000 Honda Accord LX (4-cyl,
4-door). I am considering the following:

Michelin Pilot XGT H4 P195/65HR15
Bridgestone Potenza RE930i P195/65HR15

Is there a strong reason for going with one over the other?

This is for driving in Atlanta

Thanks.

Particulars?  Style of driving?  What do you value?

  performance
  steering response
  styling
  comfort
  noise level
  wet weather traction/handling
  snow traction.

I'd go take a look at www.tirerack.com, but take a grain of salt
with their numerical ratings.  The ratings often have more to do
with the typical buyer of tire X and their expectations rather
than a direct head to head comparison of tires.  Check what
individual drivers have said about their tire choices, especially
when they directly compare two tire models that they've used.

I went through the comments for the tires you're thinking of.
Some comments for the Michelin Pilot XGT H4 for similar vehicles
to your Accord were that they tend to hydroplane or lose traction
easily once worn, and that they suck in the snow.

It seems that Tire Rack has discontinued that particular tire
from Bridgestone.

I have a '99 EX V6 and i considered those, but went with the Goodyear

I love them.  They really do move the water right out of the way and add
some performance that the tires you are considering don't have because the
sidewall is firmer.  Its also great that the tires are rated for super high
mileage.
