For free games I would choose the one which has the games I need already packaged (preferably by the distro, not third party). OTOH, if you want to try Windows only games Debian's wine is a bit old. Even wine-unstable in unstable is still only 1.1.32. To get StarCraft II working I had to use wine1.3 (1.3.10?) from the Ubuntu PPA for 10.10, which seems to work fine on squeeze. I took the risk because this was a dedicated install which I was willing to trash, I wouldn't have risked that on my main system.
