I'm not in the habit of cutting through fences, but I'd guess that it would take less time to get through chain link, but you're going to need a bigger cutters... and if somebody wants to get in that badly, they'll cut through either one.
But I can say that climbing 8' chain link with barbed wire at the top isn't that hard...
