For a desktop Debian Testing is a very good option and many
people do so, including me.

Personally I'd only use stable for a server, given the security
and stability. I would carefully consider if cutting edge is
needed for the server. If you really need it then in theory I
would only use the packages I need more recent, but it puts the
burden of all the security checking and following up on yourself.
You'd have to consider if you can do that.
I don't know anything abour Fedora core.
