I would not trust neither one of those, but if I had to choose, I'd choose Google rather than Microsoft with closed source policy and "be proudly evil"-agenda.

Concerning about NSA, I do not think it much matters, because all high end CPUs are closed source anyway and there surely is remote switch off logics and would be also cost effective to have platform agnostic backdoors. But still it wouldn't hurt to have open source kernel and OS-tools because from there in the software is where the criminals will attack you.
