+ Stability. 
Debian packages are tested through a "unstable->testing->stable" release
cycle and are not dependent on a time-table for release.

+ Reliability.
Debian is 100% community based and not reliant on a "prominent North
American Enterprise Linux vendor" that may change their distribution or
development strategy due to market forces. As long as there are
developers interested in Debian, there will be a Debian system to use.

+Package management and administration tools.

All the cool kids use Debian. Debian/rules ;)
