There is no significant difference in nutritional value.

The following applies to both: They are both a fairly good source of fiber, fat-free, very low sodium, a good source of vitamin C (which gets broken down when you cook it, so raw is much healthier), and of course cholesterol-free. They both contain what are believed to be: anti-inflammatory, anti-"bad" cholesterol, anti-cancer, and antioxidant compounds

Yellow onions have a slightly higher percentage of vitamin C and protein and slightly less calories than red onions. But yellow onions contain more sulpur than red onions, which irritates the eyes and digestive system. Other than that, the rest of the nutrients are the same. So it depends on what nutrients you are after, but I'd say that yellow onions are healthier from my perspective.
