I'd strongly recommend the latter option. Pick the packages you want. Debian's magic is in filling in the dependencies. Do this a few packages at a time (complex installs can be rough on both the system and yourself). Layer your system together over the course of a few days to a week. You'll have a much better idea of what's on your system and how it's put together. I generally recommend skipping the "profile" installation, and doing a package-by-package installation instead. -- Karsten M.
