I wasn't looking so much for security about the various products, but 
what their key features are, in the view of their suppliers. Security 
isn't the only desirable feature, or necessarily even the most desirable.

As I've already said, I'm fairly happy with RHEL-clones' security though 
it does bite sometimes, but security is not the top concern of either 
Fedora or RH.

Most (of the popular) Linux distros and the three major BSDs all do a 
fine job on security, _but_ not all of them are driven by that.

NetBSD, OpenBSD and Engarde Secure linux sites mention it on their home 
page.
