Ah, come on...  :)  

The thing that's difficult about both, is the install.  Cryptic... I
mean, someone that doesn't know, or understand what some of the packages
are will be hard pressed to decypher it all.  Now, that goes for them
all.  Doesn't matter what distro.  The bear, is after its all installed,
trying to keep track of what you did install, and configuring it or
using it.  This is where I find my liking for Debian to come forth.  I
find its easier to do a bare install of Debian alot easier than
Slackware.  I find it easier to install specific packages and keep it
minimal.  Slackware is easiest to just click on the full install and let
it run.  :)

But that's just me.  :)
