Reasons for debian:
They have largest number of packages!   ... oh Wait! thats because they
break up simple packages into 8-10 sub packages where as other distros
use single or split in two .. yeah, scratch that... you're right, no
pro's that I can think of  ;)

Ahhh just before I hit send I remember one, debian, like windows, is an
ideal distro on a server in a Colo that charges for remote hands (incl
reboots), cause they have the highest fail rate.

Most stable OS's from colo are freebsd, slackware, RHEL, CentOS (ok same
thing) and SuSE, and surprisingly, we once had a  customer with an old
win2K box back in mid 00's, that was very well behaved, and it was busy,
they ran a concert/band/event ticketing site on it, truly amazed me that
box. 

Worse OS's would be netbsd, fedora, debian, ubuntu, mint, windows*   ..
but very very nice money earners for remote hands :P
