We use NEWSID at work, but we only use Win2K and NT. I haven't tried it with XP yet, but it should work.

Yes, I have had some experience with XP and SID changing. I use Powerquest, Drive Image Pro, rather than Ghost. Powerquest's equivalent to NEWSID is SIDCHNGR. I have run this on numerous PC's built from one XP image, and have yet to encounter a problem.
