First let's talk about their platform...

Kali is based from Debian 7 "Wheezy" which is the current "stable" release.

Were-as Backbox is based from Ubuntu, cant confirm as to what is the actual Ubuntu release, but most of Pentesting distro of this derivatives uses old release normally pre-unity releases, to be able to uses gnome2 (unity started in 11.10 release)

And being ubuntu, its the grand-daughter of Debian "testing", this are releases that passed the unstable or "sid" or i like to call the "BLEEDING EDGE" release, this are packages that had been further refined to be the next stable release.

About its tools...

While Kali traces if roots and tools from BackTrack and as we all know its one of most recommended and used pentesting tool... i havent used backbox, but based from what ive read... its similar.... the only advantage of Kali its based on Debian stable release which gives and assurance that you wont break first before the system you are penetrating... being ubuntu well it still breaks... as what ive experienced deploying some tools on 11.10, 12.04 and 13.04..

there is no best Tool out there.... it is still boils down to whose using it... and its knowledge on how to deploy it... better choose a platform that is stable...

you can even create your own tool since most of the tool are available separately...

IHMO lang..
