basically a couple things to consider here:
macs and pc's now are pretty much able to do the same tasks as each other. it almost comes down to personal preference and whether you'd like the interface of the machine.... if it makes you work more efficiently, go for it then.
Print: more print shops tend to want files on a mac formatted zip disk, mac fonts if it's not a PDF, etc... so i guess the gripe there is from the print shops.
Web: pretty equally frustrating because
A: if you're designing on a mac you work with the limitations of the browsers on that platform, while on a pc you're always working to fix the limitations created by mac browsers;-)
B: for development work, it's nice to have both so you can test all your stuff on either Apache (OS X) with php, or IIS with asp (Win2k/XP). Both are benefits to their respective platforms.Bottom line, go with what you like. The computer isn't going to make your work any better, although it might make you more productive, thus able to create work more effectively.
