I would disconnect the positive because it is possible (albeit extremely unlikely) that you could get a ground to earth and still discharge the battery. But 99.999% of the time either would work.
With battery cables you always disconnect the negative first and attach it last.
Disconnecting the positive while the negative is still connected is a good way to see sparks fly and weld your wrench to a battery post or surrounding metal.
For preventing discharge you only need to disconnect the negative.
