"I think picking a blogging platform is a matter of preference and how involved your site has become in getting your message across. I think both Tumblr and self-hosted Wordpress are fantastic options. I wouldn't consider one better then the other on the surface of comparison - because they both have their strengths and weaknesses - but when it comes to empowering an individual blogger are more then enough to do the job. I chose Tumblr because it is easier to post mobile, because of it's publishing queue system, easy of post types, community and social connections. You can get similar things on a self-hosted wordpress - but you have to pay for and maintain hosting every year - along with plugins, customizations, etc. For my personal environment I didn't need that level of customization and wanted to focus on writing not on "my site.""
