What OSX does suit better for PowerBook G4 17"?

I have 2 partitions, both as StartUp Disks with Leopard 10.5.8 OSX.


Can you please tell me what OSX is better for my Mac? Leopard or Tiger?


I never tried the last, 'cos I bought this laptop a second-hand with Leopard on it already.


So, I'd like to know more what of the OS is better for Powerbook G4 (concerning productivity, speed,usability etc.)?
