In most aspects, yes.

First, another provider will likely be a smaller target (security by 
anonymity).
Second, another provider are not cross linking your emails with other 
things they know about you. Granted, that's mostly because they don't 
have that other info, but whatever the reason - it works.

As for traditional security - Google's extra size is a mixed blessing. I 
wouldn't work with someone small using a tailor made solution, but 
someone using a standard solution is likely, in the long run, to provide 
comparable security level to those Google provide (theoretical more 
chance of being vulnerable is offset by less chance of being exploited).
