Boost should work equally well with either (but don't forget that you will 
need to build Boost against STLport if that's the way you want to go). 
However GNU libstdc++ has progressed to the point that it is probably as 
well implemented as STLport now: it even has a special debugging mode with 
"checked iterators" just like STLport does.

HTH,
