> Debian is extremely comprehensive Yes, Debian is comprehensive, but it comes at a price. Red Hat/CentOS are much better at maintaining the (fewer) packages they support and providing timely patches. Bugs in less critical Debian packages sometimes linger for years. That being said, Debian is a great server OS and the only one except CentOS that I'd recommend to anyone.
