If you need better security out of the box and lesser maintainance go for linux. Almost same amount of security is available in windows, but you will need to find a lot of third party application and run them. It will also require more maintainance, though XP has considerably less maintainance then it predecessors.
If you are proficient with one of the OS'es then better stick with it. People who are very good at windows come to linux thinking that it will be a piece of cake but they fail to understand it, miserably. Same goes for linux users who migrate to windows.
