I personally don't believe one is much superior over the other. I've run them 
both on fairly beefy hosts (min dual-core with 3GB of RAM). One Ubuntu 10 box, 
and one Windows 7. In my experience I've actually found my Windows host to be 
more stable. I often have up to 9 routers and 2 Pix instances running over a 
period of  3 days, surviving good old 'suspend'. 

The only thing I wish was that I didn't have to run PEMU in compatability  mode 
because it hogs the first core. 

It's really your choice..why not dual-boot so you have a choice and can compare?
