Their package management systems, the available packages, the
organization of the overall system, and the user base (community).
If you are worried about security, I think Debian is the best. All
you need to do is include security.debian.org in the
/etc/apt/sources.list file (it is there by default) and 'apt-get
update ; apt-get updgrade' periodically. Well, you also need to
configure the system and services properly, but that is a given
regardless of which OS you use.
I have found that Debian to be the best (a subjective opinion,
obviously) and more packages than any other distro. It also has the
latest-and-greatest before others (when was the last time you saw RH
provide "unstable"? I mean, that was marketed as 'unstable' with the
latest-and-greatest, not a stable-without-the-latest-and-greatest-(stuff-released-after-our-release)-but-really-unstable-because-we-used-a-broken-compiler).
