For servers, I would trust Debian over Ubuntu/Canonical any day. The way their releases work, the default set of running services, etc.
In general, I personally prefer the way Debian works (Debian the Project - not the Distro). It has a board of elected developers governing the project. I would prefer that over somewhat opaque functioning inside a company (Canonical).
To cite as an example, here's how they decided on the question of init systems [1].
