Joomla or Wordpress for SEO? Or something else?

Ages ago when I got involved in the SEO game I was told that Wordpress is better for SEO and for that reason I use it religiously. From a web design point of view Joomla seems to offer more functionality so my question is which CMS do you guys feel best serves an SEO effort?

Wordpress. Still, hands down, Wordpress.

Unless you can find a compelling reason to use Joomla like a extension that just isn't available anywhere else and is necessary for the functioning of your site, I would go with Wordpress.

But why?

I have always used WordPress for websites because the ease of SEO implementation. Has always performed to my liking as well. I haven't used Joomla much but I know people that claim the same.. "More Functionality" I am almost certain that the same level of SEO techniques or Changes can be utilized on both CMS platforms.
