Interesting question.
This are just my 2 euro cents..
AIX
has a more complete O/S (asynchronous I/O is standard)
better management tools
Less parameters to tune
More diagnostic tools.
The hardware breaks less often.
I don't know anything about IBM support, but I do know Sun support in the Netherlands sucks. One of our customers is having issues with Sun on their support contract for years.
