Debian is better!!! You are asking this to debian ML :-)
Seriously, except for packaging system and few minor style differences,
both are quite similar system (SYS-V init).
Major difference is that debian is free volunteer efforts while suse is
commercial distribution.

System is as secure as its admin's skill and efforts.
If you ask how easy to update to the latest security patched program, I
can say that debian delivers security updates quite fast and updating
system with them in debian is very easy even for active daemon programs.
Judging from suse's RPM packaging, suse may not be as easy to upgrade
active daemons like Redhat. (I do not know.)
I can tell you that Debian has steep learning curve but it is worth it.
