I suspect there's not much to choose between them all really, I have a (very) slight leaning towards Ubuntu but I'm willing to be persuaded otherwise.
If you want to go down the road of deb packaging, go straight for the original Debian - Ubuntu is little more than a snapshot of Testing...
Once Debian is installed, you have the prospect of Stable (Sarge), Testing (Etch), Unstable (Sid), or Experimental. On top of those, add in Debian-security, Backports, and a whole host of other unofficial repositories. All can be accessed from the command line or with the aid of ncurses based frontends. Alternatively, a GUI frontend in either KDE or Gtk can be used.
