It is (as so often) much more dependent on how you secure your private keys than the crypto system itself. Ripple (the network) is more robust concerning 51% mining attacks, as it uses a different mechanism there, though if this means it is more safe from hackers has yet to be tested/proven.
BTC and XRP on paper wallets are both likely very safe from "hackers" if you followed some basic security procedures when generating and producing the wallets.
They mostly use the same/similar crypto primitives by the way, so if ECDSA turns out to be broken, both currencies would be in trouble.
