PGP is a packaging method.  Absent grossly incompetent packaging -- and 
I've never heard claims that PGP or S/MIME were guilty of that -- my 
sense is that the interesting security mechanisms are the underlying 
algorithms.
Is there something about PGP that creates different exposures than 
S/MIME, in terms of those algorithms?  (Key management has obvious 
differences, of course.)
