Mac definitely! The new ones especially are made for multi-media, and
very efficient about it compared to pcs. A friend recently bought one of
the early iMacs for his son, and has ended up using it himself to do
editing. He's been pleasantly surprised at how powerful that relatively
inexpensive machine is. I expect his son will be getting another one.

PCs I use for design work in offices are noisy and freezing all the time
and really not happy doing much of anything, and especially not anything
with images. My Mac at home just keeps impressing me. It's 4 years old,
ancient for a computer, and I recently added more memory and a card to
give me USB and firewire ports and can now add any of the newer
peripherals. In other words, Macs are easily expandable and upgradeable
and they just keep chugging along.
