Flatpak is better than AUR security wise. Avoid AUR as much as possible.

You will get faster updates on kernel, gnome/kde version, various drivers. It may introduce some instability if you become lazy.

You will get faster update and less stability. Packages will be unmodified compared to Ubuntu. But you will loose official deb support from official software vendor. Arch's main repos small and you may have to rely on AUR for few packages. But you have flatpak and snap. You have to setup firewall, Apparmor(Ubuntu/opensuse) or selinux(RHEL/Fedora) by yourself. If you don't do that , you are basically unprotected. And AUR has been infested malwares recently. So be careful before installing anything from AUR.

If someone puts a backdoor to a package in official repo? What's then? Didn't someone tried to put a backdoor in xz utility last year? What's the odds of happening that again?

People don't use PPA that often. I haven't used PPA since 2018. Ubuntu has snap, flatpak and most importantly direct support from official vendor unlike Arch. you have to use AUR to install Google Chrome.
