I started with Puppet and moved to Ansible. Ansible is much easier to debug, because everything happens in sequence and it doesn't freak out and break if you have the same identical command in two modules. Puppet builds this rats-nest dependency graph before it runs, and that's a pain in the arse to debug. Ansible's limitation is 'ssh bandwidth' - something like Puppet seems to me better for more heavyweight environments where you have three figures or more of servercount.
