What makes one tea different from another is whether or not it's fermented.
Black tea is the most fermented, while green is not.
White tea, once a rarity reserved for Chinese royalty, is the fluff of the tea bud and, therefore, more expensive.
The antioxidant properties are basically the same. The flavors are different, white tea being very light and almost "sweet."
Brew to the flavor, not to the color.
Hope this helps.
