Here's a topic that my husband (who is a copy editor) loves to address!  
He says that in the AP stylebook "compare with" is used when two things 
are different (Compared with Acer palmatum, Acer macrophyllum has big 
leaves) and "compare to" is used when two things are similar (I compare 
Dan Hinkley to E.H. Wilson as a plant hunter).
