Your decision whether you upload into Debian experimental or unstable should not be affected by other derivative distribution policies. You can request syncing packages from experimental into Ubuntu, but the package will still land in Ubuntu's new queue and require verification. You can always provide backports/ppa/etc regardless of the package status in the archive. Given above, unstable or experimental?
I'm still not sure why one would want to use experimental instead of unstable. It seems like it's just one more hoop people have to jump through ( adding one more entry to sources.list ) to use the package. I'm not necessarily opposed to it, I just don't see the benefit.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't experimental for testing a one off hack you want a few specific people to try, but you know it would cause breakage for other users and so would not be appropriate for unstable?
If that's the case, then I'd say unstable is the place to go.
