For starters it would blogger, as there are so many blogs for starting bloggers to help with their Problems...
Go for wordpress bro... its more powerful, more reliable and have more features like a good set of plugins and cool themes!
as my experience I can suggest to use wordpress, its easy to maintain, if we compare FREE wordpress.com and FREE blogger.com that some points I got Wordpress - can check Stats for web traffic Blogger - No stats check Wordpress - Allow to creat new pages Blogger - can't make pages Wordpress - Akismet (Anti-spam) Blogger - None Wordpress - easy to manage links Blogger - Not easy Its all my experience may be which I feel easy is tough for some other.
I believe the best choice is hosting your own blog, instad of depending on thrid-party services. Besides, why someone should host a blog with wordpress where you can install the script in any domain or free subdomain without being attached to wordpress.org.
I prefered to used wordpress than bogger because you can customized the layout and contents of your blog using plugins that is really helpful.
I agree with mystique, but wordpress makes your life easier - SEO! and makes a considerable difference, I rather recommend - SELF HOSTED WORDPRESS BLOG, so that you can use its SEO optimized look (which is elegant and professional) and also, its SEO plug-in features! I wrote about this elsewhere as well here's a link, it should explain everything I hope. Let me know if you have any doubts - forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1861991 Please add an http:// in front of this, im not allowed live links yet...
Blogger gets my vote for ease of use any time. But Wordpress does have much more going for to expand it in a substantial website.
