Debian takes the super stable approach, which means packages aren't always at the latest version. Ubuntu favours more frequent updates.

I like Debian for servers but I'd probably go with Ubuntu or Mint for desktops if I ran a linux desktop.

Debian unstable seems to be about at the same place as Ubuntu. I use it to get a minimal system, where 95% of the support forums answers for ubuntu is still valid.
