This is the right section for this topic.
I'll tell you the advatages of each rom base, so you can use whichever you want, i won't push you.
Ruby's easier to hack, it has more features like better HMs, desert tiles, etc.
Fire Red has better graphics, its more stable, and it has better pallets. >> This is just my opinion, maybe other people dont agree.

lololol more stable.
No Advance Gen Pokemon ROM is stable or unstable, it's the tools that are stable and/or unstable. And the only ones you really need are AdvanceMap (which is perfect), XSE (which is perfect) and universal tools like graphic editors.
OT: Why not Emerald, ah?

Why? How is it any easier to hack then any other advance generation ROM?
That's subjective.
Tiles can be changed adequately and equally in all 3rd generation Pokémon ROMs.
Again, these can be changed.
Changeable.

Both have strengths and weaknesses. Ruby has Day and Night, Firered has... I think Level Scripts, not sure.
Either way, it is up to you, as both are nearly identical, and can be hacked to look similar.

Agreement. :)
Level Scripts are also in ruby. FireRed has a major weakness.
I agree with that point. And nothing's perfect. Advance Map destroys my ROM sometimes. So does XSE.
You do recognize that in firered if to much events in a map are stuck near to each other the game overloads and restarts...

Ruby... more OWs, imo better tiles and possibility to include contest in game...

Yeah, but JPAN's engine-hack patch allows 60,000+ (or something like that), so that post is invalid.
Anyway, I think that Ruby has Contests, PokéNav, etc. which are all great, but I'm used to FireRed so I'm stayin' FR... for now, at least.
If we're talking the actual game, which we arent', but still, I prefer Ruby by miles. I've played it so many times the internal battery's run dry. =P

Well, I also prefer FR but I want to use Ruby to have some change.

I've never heard of that happening. Aaaaaand I'm pretty sure the cause of that (if it indeed happened to you) is the result of a faulty movement type, namely one of the "Hidden" ones.

Ruby, too many people hack FireRed, and it is very much over-hacked

Yeah, but if you look in Whack-a-hack (Spanish & Mexican), you'll see everybody there hacks Ruby. Not to mention graphics and tiles are the first thing they change...
Fire Red. I'm just used to it, it has more maps to work on and alter, and the best argument I include is the "tool factor", as mentioned above.
All in all, I think that you should work on both ROMs and choose yourself. I think that when you try and work on Ruby and FR afterwards (or the opposite, anyway) you might just like only one of the two. It's a matter of personal taste, really.
There are no advantages/disadvantages that distinct them. Both FR and Ruby have the same adv/disadv (to my point of view, at least).

I don't think either of the rom has an advantage over the other but if you are a beginner, I'd suggest you start with FR.
The reason is simple too: Most of the hacks are based on FR. Therefore, it is easier to find support/information if you should require it.
Other than that, you can hack both of the roms to look pretty much identically. (given you know what you're doing, of course)

- That is a very good question.

It really boils down to that. If you take the road less traveled by, you'll get lost, be afflicted by poison ivy, and trip over tree roots into bogs, et cetera.
