RO forces water through openings so small that many minerals cannot make it through and are thus filtered out. The distillation process (boiling and condensing) is widely considered 100% pure, but is not 100%. In fact RO isn't 100% either. For drinking water quality purposes they are pretty much a wash. RO is widely considered more cost effective, probably because you don't need the energy to boil/evap the water and condense it again. That is why a lot of people have RO systems and not distilleries (not for water any way).
