LACP is the IEEE Standard (IEEE 802.3ad) and is the most common dynamic ether-channel protocol, whereas PAgP is a Cisco proprietary protocol and works only between supported vendors and Cisco devices. All ports in an EtherChannel must use the same protocol; you cannot run two protocols on two ends. In other words, PAgP and LACP are not compatible so both ends of a channel must use the same protocol. PAgP dynamically negotiates the formation of a channel. LACP also dynamically negotiates the formation of a channel. In general, Auto mode in PAgP is the same as Passive mode in LACP and Desirable mode is same as Active mode.

Actually, it's the converse. Cisco's had the technology first, but considered it proprietary (so it required Cisco hardware). So, industry/IEEE seeing a "good thing" created their own "standard" variant. Cisco has a lot of "first" proprietary technologies that a later industry/standard variant was defined to provide something similar. I believe it depends on the actual modes, what combinations work together (or not - which can be intended).
