I'm trying to think of who around here would say what. I know we've got
several debian advocates around here. There was at least one suse guy,
but I think not active on this list. And I can't really think of any
redhat advocates.
My vote is Debian.
I run Debian at home, and RedHat on the servers at work (that's how I
inhereted them).
There are 2 major differences
1) package management: apt is a beautiful thing, when some redhat coder
finally gets around to trying it, they'll start using it, I'm sure.
2) philosopy: RedHat is commercial, Debian is GNU to the core.
