I don't really see a difference between using Debian for workstations and servers. The only real reason to use Debian is that you think what Debian is trying to do is a good thing. They have a very clear definition of what they consider acceptable software engineering practices, how they think things shoud work, what's acceptable from free software and they do a lot of work to ensure what they ship fit that. They value portability to an extreme, have strong opinions about how linking should be done, separations of concern and what can be considered free software. It's an extremely political distribution with a lot of patching happening to try to shoe horn things into their vision. I personally think it's extremely misguided, breaks a lot of good sotfware, mostly unsafe, a significant drag on the people actually developping what they ship, and basically the embodyment of everything that is wrong with Linux distribution as a concept. Others will tell you they are fighting the good fight for their users freedom and the guardian of the kingdom. How you stand on this will determine if Debian - and its derivatives which bring its flaws with the Debian inheritance - makes sense for you.
