Not enough data points to really count, but I have had a lot of bad experiences with Debian updates failing or suddenly deciding that vim conflicts with something so it has to remove half my packages... Arch, however, has always been dependable in the five-odd years I've run it full time. Including machines that don't get upgraded for many months at a time. I don't know if I'd put in on a "server" that I ran for other people, but personally I have yet to see problems arising from the rolling release model.
