AFAIU, t-mouse is basically like xt-mouse, except it does not use special
escape codes sent by the terminal to encode mouse-click info.  Instead it
uses a separate socket to communicate directly with the `gpm' daemon.

The only times I've used xt-mouse were when X11 was not an option because
Emacs was running on another host that I accessed via ssh (without
X forwarding).  IIRC, xt-mouse also works with putty on W32.
