So the question is, what do you use? Pro's and Con's of each?
Of the two you listed, the biggest difference I see is that Debian is a relative pain to set up compared to Fedora/Red Hat, but once it's installed, Debian has a much nicer software installation system. Personally, I'd say start with Fedora. It gives you a rather nice base system to play with from the start, with a minumum of hassle. My main gripe with Red Hat used to be it's system for installing new packages, but the Fedora releases have seen a large improvement in that area. *thumbs up* from me :)
As for me? Personally, I'm another Gentoo user, but I wouldn't thrust that install on anyone if they didn't know what to expect ;)
