I can't comment on the Mac since I do not use one.

My preference when installing Debian is to get the "Net Install" 
version. It uses a single DVD/CD and downloads the items you select as 
it runs. The versions with the multiple DVDs have the bulk of the 
software on them and are a good choice if you need to install without 
Internet access.
