> Ubuntu has a much better track record of actual security maintenance over the long term.

Debian has 24 hour security fixes for 15+ years. It also supports "OldStable" in terms of security & backports. For some time it also has "Long Term Support" teams which supports older releases.

Debian is "the original" install & forget distro. Ubuntu has some commercial sauce over it but, unless you have a special need, Debian can handle everything you throw at it.

We have so much servers so that we sometimes forget some of our background service servers' and they hum all-along with all security updates applied.
