The desktop in Ubuntu is a bit more polished than in Debian; this has nothing to do with system features or stability, it's just some more convenience for new users; nothing that can't be put on par by changing some settings or installing standard packages. On the business side, the only advantage of using Ubuntu compared to Debian, is that Canonical, which is behind Ubuntu, is a company while Debian is a community. Companies usually want to talk with other companies rather than communities with no business structure. They are of course wrong, but when they realize it's usually too late.
