Much depends on what you want out of life. Your choices are about as far apart in philosophy as you can get.
Do you wear tweed or have a sport coat with elbow patches? If so, then Debian is as staid and stable as you are. Slowly evolving and the mother of many other distros. Or do you have dyed hair and piercings? Do you live in your mother’s basement? Arch might be a great fit for you. Arch is often wild and barely house broken and will pee on your floor as soon as it can. It can be tamed if kept under tight control. But it’s a wild ride on the edge if you let it.
There is a middle ground that can draw from both worlds. Ubuntu and Fedora and SuSe are that middle ground. If this is your first time sailing the Sea of Distros, then somewhere in this middle is perhaps the best place to start.
