To me it is more about what do you want to do more, create and support your own blog software just so you can post once or twice a month or just use something that works so you can write. From my own experience if I have to create/support the code, I stop writing consistently and fail to post.
Wordpress is a bit of a beast, but it just works. The security concerns while not improper, are just not that worrisome for a basic blog. Wordpress can be plenty secure if you keep plugins to a minimum and follow best practices.
Ghost is a great option, and way more back to basics blogging to me. e.g. it gets rid of all the noise of trying to be everything to everyone which minimizes the security risks etc. This would be the direction I would recommend personally.
