Well debian armhf won't run on the RPi (only RPi 2 and 3) no matter what
you do.

Debian armel would run, but be slower for some things (mainly floating
point things), although not using thunmb2 would probably make it slower
at all things, not that the RPi 1 has support for that.

Geneerally I would think Raspbian is the right thing to use and if it
has bugs those are worth getting fixed.
