Actually, the best is the one you want to use most. So, in other words, you're asking a subjective question.

The kernel between Ubuntu and Debian is the same, the only difference is the rootfs, where Ubuntu uses upstart, while Debian uses a more traditional init.d init daemon.

If you do not have much hands on with either, then either would probably work fine for you. My own personal preference is Debian, because I have had years of hands on with it.
Also with Debian, you can use systemd. Just add the option to uEnv.txt as follows:

#Optional arguments
optargs=init=/bin/systemd
