The answer is not that simple. Both provide the same "options", as they both are built on top of a Linux kernel, can compile source code or install pre-built binaries, and therefore can have 100% the same tools. If you mean which one does it out of the box, you'll just going to have to install them both (or try and find a Live-CD; Ubuntu's Desktop disc is combined install+live disc, about SuSE I don't know) and try out to see which one suits you best.
If you're completely uncertain, download and burn Ubuntu Desktop disc (you can try it before actually installing anything), boot it and see if it looks good. Notice that if there are some tools "missing", you can usually get them with no trouble (or very little trouble) from the web; noticed already that Install/Remove in the menu? Or Synaptic package manager? If it's not something you want, you can always get SuSE then. And if it's not good either, you can get back to Ubuntu or just pick up some other choice.
Nobody can tell you which/what is better, you're going to try the options yourself. If you ask me, I'd recommend Ubuntu or if it feels it doesn't have everything needed inside, then Slackware.
