I am certainly not in a position to say which is more secure, but this
reminded me of a flap that arose over a list of vulnerabilities posted
by platform, etc on SecurityFocus:

Naturally, one would not base an enterprise roll-out of any particular
distribution solely on these numbers, however it may be a starting point
for you to research this issue further.
