What are the benefits of this vs. KeeChallenge?

Wasn't aware of that. Sounds similar, I'll take a look.

The immediate benefit is that KeePassX is that it is cross platform (tested first hand on Linux and OS X) whereas KeePass itself is Windows only (maybe mono?).

Yeah, keepass2 works w/ mono. I have it installed on an xubuntu system. There's an official package (in universe).

keechallenge is also supposed to work w/ mono. That said, at least on my machine the fonts in keepass2 are rendered too small, making the application very difficult to use. I spent about an hour trying to figure out how to fix them and could not, so I have not tried setting up keechallenge there.
