Question about blogging platforms

I've been playing around with the idea of starting a blog that was more professionally (rather than fannishly) oriented, and I've been investigating different blogging platforms. Does anyone have strong opinions on the merits of blogger.com v. wordpress.com? (I'm definitely not doing it on LJ or Vox, because I want it to be completely removed from my fannish identity).

I like my wordpress account. As much as I can like anything with only one icon, no selective flock, and no threaded comments (though, I think if you use your own server you can add comment thread software).

What is *up* with the lack of threaded comments on other blogsites? I mean, seriously? It's so inefficient!

(And the lack of flock is ok with me, since the whole purpose of the blog would be to be public--but it is true that in many ways we are spoiled by LJ).

Thanks for the advice. It's looking like wordpress by a landslide.
