In my opinion Debian is the best, fisrt it stills tol free, this fact make it most robust because there is not one company restricting some things. All the support that you need is in this list at least for me. In this list you can get a response in less time than an enterprise support aproach. Besides Debian has NON-US packages I think this is a great advantage too.
Also the way Debian is installed is better, let you have more control over you linux box. Debian does not have that programs that hide the details to users in configuration issues, so the only restriction to customize your linux box is your imagination. I had two servers in my enterprise with Debian since I installed them, they had never crash. And I am sure that there are more technical details that make it the best. This is just an opinion.
