One of the nicest features of the RedHat system was/is the RedHat network which makes it possible to upgrade off the net quickly and easily. While it's not really a requirement, I would miss it if an equivalent service were not available.
Fedora (Severn at least, and presumably on to the final 10 release) still has this capability. It has been enhanced so you can now use apt and/or yum repositories to deal with updates. But I have no idea who will foot the bill for paying for the security updates to be applied to a central repository in a timely and consistent manner. Debian seems to do well with this. All in all, I'd probably pick Fedora if you like Red Hat. If not, I'd pick Debian. - C
