Civicspace is based directly off of Drupal. It adds to Drupal a web-based installer, and a several contributed modules already integrated. Civicspace is very community focused in it's setup, although it has a setup for an individual blog also.

If you are looking for more modules besides what Drupal installs, Civicspace would be for you. If you cannot or do not want to do the traditional drupal install of uploading it to the server, setup the database, edit the settings.php, etc. Civicspace would be for you.

If you know what you are doing for the install, and don't want the bloat of extra modules that you don't need, go with Drupal. I personally prefer going with Drupal for that reason, but I don't mind the install or adding the extra modules myself.

Hope this helps.

Just to add. It all depends on your requirements. If your requirements align with what Civicspace delivers (http://civicspacelabs.org/home/civicspace/features) then I'd recommend you use Civicspace.
