Ken is right, Mir could be an issue. And if Debian gives you more freedom and it's easier for you Biff, I would be all for Debian.Yes, Ubuntu is one of the coolest and sleekest distros I've seen but if your PC is past its prime it's awfully slow. I don't know how hard it is to work around Mir but if it turns out to be a nightmare, let's go to Debian ;)
And maybe for future releases, a text installer that allows you to choose some default programs during installation would be a great idea, so we don't have to discuss what should be included in each release. Some hate abiword and gnumeric and replace it, others might hate Chrome and replace it with firefox. I really hope a text installer will be implemented.
See you later,
