which is more stable and gives you more hashrate ? shortly which is better ?
The answer is very simple : Ubuntu :- more stable
- more secure (no viruses)
- more speed
- no automatic or issues reboots
- no very long updates
- and so on...

You cannot find many miner softwares for Ubuntu OS and I don't think your hash rate depends on the OS you are using. You have to use the best best mother board, processor and high gaming console graphic card to get the high hash rate while you are mining any coin. Try using windows itself to get the s/w supported to you.
Most major mining software writers support Ubuntu.
In fact, I can't think of one that does NOT (though Claymore was anti-LINUX for a while he changed his stance when he finally realized how much he was LOSING by not doing so).
Hash rate generally isn't OS specific - the differences are minor at most, and are normally DRIVER dependent issues not OS specific ones.
The main tradeoff is that LINUX is more stable, but the tools for overclock and undervolt are a lot more primitive and don't work as well as Afterburner for Windows.
You do NOT need a high-end processor AT ALL for mining, and mining motherboards don't tend to work well as high-end gaming motherboards as mining doesn't NEED the throughput to the GPUs that gaming does.
I ran my triple R9 290 based ETH rig on a Sempron 145 low-end single-core CPU for many months, and saw ZERO hashrate change when I upgraded that rig to a Athlon X2 240 dual-core (the only difference is that ETH's DAG file generation went quicker, but that normally happens BETWEEN blocks and doesn't affect hashrate).

I does depend on OS, or rather on drivers. So OS might give different results (hashrate and power drain).
Also don't state wrong statements. You don't need best motherboard and best processor. In fact you need the cheapest processor and MB with enough PCI-E lines.

Which car is faster and more comfortable? Mercedes or BMW?
Everything depends, and there isn't one single good asnwer. There are variables. But IMO I tend to vote for Linux.
