Ubuntu or kubuntu?

I can’t decide between the two. I like both ubuntu and kubuntu equally and I’ve been running both off the live cd for a few weeks. I installed a new hard drive so I can finally set up my dual boot and then I just have not been able to decide. Any suggestions? Pros/cons? I know they’re pretty much the same from an operating system viewpoint but what do you think? What’s your personal favorite and why? Anything will help.

And also my computer won’t have a problem running either.

linux live cd for extra security has anybody given any thought to that?

I have been thinking on my next round of computers when all my HDs die this time I may just run live CDs. on all my boxes. I am running linux mint now with no problems but got to thinking how much more secure it would be done like this I can download to a flash drive when needed. it would save me the expense of new HDs has anyone given any thought to such a thing mine are all home use net browsing and such. I imagine security would be better this way also. any thoughts pros cons anything I may not be thinking about thanks guys
probly DSL, linux mint and knoppix 3.3 are the OSs I am thinking on using for this purpose
