I use Debian 5 from some times and when will be available Debian 6 probably this OS will be my primary OS while now the primary OS is Ubuntu LTS 8.04 despite i use more ArchLinux.
Unfortunately with ArchLinux I have had some problem (generally small but someone even big) but for development i have the necessity to a robust OS.
If you want use Debian you should avoid to play with different repository if you want mantain the system stable.
This rule is valid for every distro.
Obviously the programs available on Debian 5 aren't much upgrade (but there are some good exceptions).
In summary when i want "play" i use ArchLinux while when i would do something more serious i use another distro.
