Both are really fun, but you will have to deal with BS on both just in different forms.
On red the BS happens at higher levels (one big reason for this is that you spend little time at lower levels b/c of exp bonus and it's so easy to get a group). This consists of losing your camp to pvp and the most frustrating thing of being sniped while on a raid and wasting 3 hours because <Friends> and others are pretty good at it.
On blue the BS can happen at any level with petitions for camps etc.
I never had a big problem with either server. Both are really fun and extremely different. IMO red is much easier even though your gear will likely be much worse compared to blue. There is basically no death penalty on red because getting back the lost exp (the biggest part of the death penalty) is squashed by a huge exp bonus.
Red is more classic.
Blue is less frustrating.
You will deal with assholes on both servers.
You will deal with awesome people on both servers.
Take this list to be a pro or con of either, I am not saying one is a pro or a con of either server; just spitting out some facts. Decide for yourself.
You can AFK on blue, you shouldn't on red.
You don't need a buff order on blue, you should on red.
You don't always need sow/levi/invis on blue, you should on red.
You don't always need to be on your toes on blue, you should on red.
