OK, if you want more (ice aside)....
Do you prefer Red or Blue ?
Do you like the default apps in Lubuntu, or do you want to choose your own ?
Do you prefer nemo to pcmanfm ?
Do you prefer Xfwm4 (with its built in compositing) to pcmanfm (without, but you can always add compton) ?
Do you prefer our forum to the Ubuntu one ?
Do you prefer distros that start with a P more than L ?
As I said it's all about personal taste .. take your pick .. at the end of the day you can always turn Lubuntu into Peppermint and vice versa .. so pick your starting point.
(in fact you could turn them both into Ubuntu or Mint if you could be bothered)
If you're after someone to tell you which to choose .. PEPPERMINT obviously
