is one type of helmet truly safer than the other, or is it just a matter of preference?

Could not have said it better. .. My advise: Get the best full face helmet with a shield that you can afford. I use a Bell Dominator which costs around $1,000.00 it is carbon-kevlar constructed = light as hell. It has a SA200 rating and is lined with nomex (fire retardent material). Legs, arms, ribs, etc... break and are fixable. Heads on the other hand tend to be a little more delicate. DO NOT SKIMP ON YOUR HELMET!
