Debian may have the biggest name in package managers, but Gentoo is my 'home distro'.
Debian has to make choices to use older package versions in many cases, as they don't seem to have a good system for multiple package versions. This means packages are often outdated in general.
Gentoo basically lets you choose versions arbitrarily, which I consider a big plus when it comes to, say, PHP. Also, no silly package drama, you pick which features you want for a package within the package manager system.
