Apt over RPM -- works more reliably.

I like Debian's (almost always) putting configs in /etc -- easier to
find and keep backed up.

The array of distro sets (stable, testing, etc.) gives a choice of
reliable to bleeding edge. Different features are appropriate for
different jobs, and Debian provides more than a "one size fits all". In
tidy packages.

I never considered CentOS because it didn't exist at the time. I moved
from RedHat through Gentoo to Debian. They're well done distros, but
I've rarely missed them.

I guess all this boils down to my experience that Debian's more
reliable, and it's more rational and easier to administer and troubleshoot.

How about emotional? I like Debian's attitude :-)
