For me, choosing one of the two actually may depend on what you are trying to do with your Blog and if you have trust issues or not. For instance, if you choose Blogger, which is a free service that Google offers, you get all the works. You get to design your Blog choosing from many templates and backgrounds, set up your Blog to look and feel professional. And, even though you can report to Google any kind plagiarism or wrong doing that is being done to the work that you own, Google still has rights, because they own the storage space, to change, remove, and/or manipulate anything that you upload to their site. Because, in the license agreement the Blogger is there to improve their services, not yours.
On the other hand, when you choose Wordpress, which is a service that you pay for, you are actually renting your own space on a server. Making your Blog a "self hosted Blog". Therefore, everything you write, blog, and upload belongs to you and only you. You are literally guaranteed access to your website...because you own it. Like my grandmother use to say, " You get what you pay for."
I did not know that.
