If a gaming sessions turns into a metaphysical bull session about the nature of the planes and reality how much XP should be awarded? Based on amount of input I think, but this puts the PC's with an 8 Int at a disadvantage.

Did their discussion change anything IG, were they acting IC and get a deeper understanding of their characters goals? Were NPC's involved? Any of the characters reach some kind of epiffany? If you answered no to all of these I think you should award a negligable amount, maybe more if these characters are faction members or clerics/wizards/spellcasters w/access to high level spells. Whats their general level?

The characters are low level. The discussion hasn't happened yet, but I predict it will. We argue about such things often enough in real life. I think the players are going to take to the factions like fish to water.

Kender-Rogue will probably end up a Cipher

Cleric of St. Cuthbert will probably be a Signer

Barbarian(borderline evil munchkin) will likely join the Doomguard(cause its got "doom" in the title)

Wizard will likely join the Fated, but thats more likely based on the player.

I'd attempt to work such sessions into the plot, rather than simply have them in game for no reason. Perhaps better than XP are temporary minor powers related to the faction/philosophy.
