From technical perspective wpdb->prepare() essentially trickles down to escaping variables with either (depending on configuration) mysql_real_escape_string() or addslashes().
It’s not inherently more or less secure than any other properly implemented escaping routine. It is closer to specifics of WP and configuration it is aware off.
