I've just done this with 2 friends with the exact same vintage pbooks, one a 12" and one a 15" both with the same ram, 2G and proc, 1.33Ghz.
The first got Tiger the 2nd got Leopard, both the last versions. Neither owner is particularly computer savvy so they were fine with the experiment, as it were.
If there is a difference in speed, I don't see it.
Both are happy (I haven't seen the 1st to update him to Leo).
Neither are doing video editing or ProTools with these pbooks.
Mostly email, Safari and other pedestrian acts of electron activity.
That said, I'd steer to Leo. It adds a few functions that are user friendly for the non savvy. Time Machine comes to mind.
What was more important in both cases (they were both updated from 10.3), was teaching them both file management (IE: don't drop files on the desktop).
