I've always preferred to use Debian stable just because it's stable. And because it's arguably got the latest security updates.

But for Tor, I always use the Tor Project repository. Or for Docker.

And then there's stuff that won't even build in Debian, because it's been developed specifically for Ubuntu.

My former boss had us use Debian stable in production for this reason. He did not like apt-get related surprises.
