From what I've heard/read, the kevlar is slightly stronger (not in power but in construction/sturdiness).

I'll try and find the guy I quoted my info from, but it's just hear-say.
EDIT2:
From browsing a couple forums on the internet (mostly sailing for some reason) I've come to the not-so-solid conclusion that the kevlar is stronger but slightly heavier than the carbon fiber... negligible in this case really.
One thing I glanced over said that motorcycle helmets cannot be full CF (because it "cracks on contact") so it is often reinforced with kevlar to make it stronger.
