I use RH based systems rather a lot (I even derived a distro from RH a few 
years ago) so I am fairly comfortable with them.

One time where I **really** prefer Debian though is where I have a box 
that is missing a lot of required software. In this situation anything 
except .deb is a right pain! ;)

It's a difficult one to answer due to the way that Debian releases take so 
long to happen and any PHB worth his tie-pin would shudder at the idea of 
using an "unstable" release.
