I'd consider Debian to be a perfectly reasonable choice...

In order to conclude that something else is specifically superior,
you'd need to define some metrics that allow evaluating along the
lines that:

   "A is better than B in areas X and Y.
    B is better than A in area Z.

    Because factor Z is really important to us, that means we prefer
    distribution B."

Absent of evaluation criteria, you'll just see people saying "Oh, I
like {SomeThing} about my favorite distribution, and maybe you'd like
that too."
