Everyone is going to have his/her own favorite here. I would just 
mention that while I have to admit that it may be that I simply did not 
make enough effort, but with my boxes, I have always had an easier time 
with straight Debian installs with the Debian installer, rather than 
Ubuntu. A few years ago there were still some machines it wouldn't set 
up on, but recently, I haven't had a single problem, and it seems to me 
that the handling of apt resources on a straight Debian installation is 
simpler and easier.
