Republics have less war weariness. If you are in a democracy and have to bump luxury up just 10% higher because of WW than you would have to under Republic, than democracy is worse off (also democracy would lose more shields/gold/growth if they have to hire entertainers that they wouldn't have to under republic). Corruption difference between Republic and democracy is not much at all, so the only benefit of Democracy is the worker bonus. But if you have your productive cities fully developed then workers developing your high-corrupt cities won't make much of a difference.
If you are at peace and will be for quite awhile, then by all means go to democracy for the worker bonus (or if you are religious, since the anarchy is only 1 turn).
