I'd hope that any distribution would be packaged to work well with it's init system, regardless of which init system that is. After all, the whole point of a distribution is to have a core set of software[0] that works together reasonably well.

[0] With the number of different packages in a modern Linux, I don't expect everything in a distributions repository to work perfectly, but core stuff (like the stuff that gets you from a cold boot to a login prompt, etc) should be rock solid.
