I think I have to choose Star Wars.

I mean Trek has nice comfy homes and ships and nice comfy progressives, at least in the Federation. But it's also way to unperdictably dangerous. Anonmallys popping up anywhere, anytime, advanced equipment used to manipulate fundamental forces of nature not functioning as designed.

But Star Wars, seems a bit more lively, and a bit more rational in the distribution of danger, and much more diverse.
