Debian is the way of the future whether you like it or not. Red Hat will either have to bring back something like its old distro or it will effectively lose out the small business market, particularly Web servers.
Debian stable is just that. Every package works properly when installed and is stable for around 1.5-2 years. Plus, the fact that it is nonprofit means that it will never go away. And HP likes it, too, so it has no problem affording hardware for its mirrors.
Debian is also on the forefront of SELinux integration. It will likely have it done quicker than Red Hat.
