I thought that MyBB is better in security. It runs rock-solid and provides vB3-like experience.
I ran MyBB for about 4 years before switching to Xenforo.
There are many reasons why I switched to Xenforo, but I will give you 3 good reasons.
1. Xenforo does a far better job in taking in videos and other media. MyBB struggles with this. It can be done with a lot of coding, which I do not do. Just paste the URL of the video or media and it's already posted and ready to be seen by users. It's a bit more complex in MyBB.
2. Regular updates/upgrades on Xenforo are far more superior than updates/upgrades of MyBB. There are have been numerous times that the MyBB updates/upgrade actually corrupted certain sections of the admin's websites and you can see immediately that admins flood MyBB.com with complaints of broken websites. This actually happened to my website one time. Luckily for me, I had a previous day's backup and installed the previous working version of MyBB and restored the previous day's backup.
3. Installing add-ons and styles is far superior on Xenforo over MyBB. So much cleaner and faster to install add-ons and styles on Xenforo over MyBB.
I can list many more reasons, but those are the ones that are important to me.
