When it comes to hacking or cybersecurity, both macOS and Windows have their strengths, but many professionals prefer macOS due to its Unix-based architecture, which is favored for programming and security tools. Additionally, macOS tends to have fewer malware threats compared to Windows, primarily due to its smaller user base and integrated security features. The prevalence of Macs at conferences could be attributed to their reliable performance and the popularity of many cybersecurity tools that are optimized for the Mac environment.

Depends on what you need and what you are going to use for
 
You are asking two different questions, for hacking speaking generally I would not recommend mac os or windows, I would suggest linux but if i had to choose one I would choose windows. As for cyber security, I would say apple due to the security it has over windows.

Hope it helps
