What he said. Either is perfectly safe with proper training.
But also like
armoredman, I too prefer a decocking lever than a safety on a pistol with a DA first shot. The heavy trigger is all the safety you need. The saftey on my 1911s is important because of the 3.5 pound trigger, by contrast my Beretta has a pull of like 12 pounds or more (its heavier than my wheel gun

). I use my Beretta's safety/decocker lever as a decocker only by engaging the safety (therefore dropping the hammer) then flicking it off before holstering.
