There is no issue between Ubuntu and Debian. Any of it will be fine as
it's the same apt/dpkg system, so if one of them is supported, then
porting will be extremely easy.

By the way, I see no importance in the so-called "cloud". I know it goes
on the opposite way of the current fashion, but I strongly believe that
if you need power, then a cluster of REAL servers (eg: not virtual) is
obviously the way to go. If you don't need lot's of resources, then a
small VPS or 2 are enough. The number of times you will really need
scalability are so small, and even though, scalability can be achieved
without using could.

Give me ONE real life example of something in production and I may
change my mind...

Also, doing a design decision only because of a "vote" is silly to me.
That shouldn't be the case, the decision should be made out of technical
aspects, not because people like a particular distro.
