Debian has less complexityand is very stable. It has a nice wiki and a Debian system can run for a few years on unattended upgrades.
Edit: this post was originally about cost savings but that is not really a useful metric

Debian uses like 200MBs of ram for a basic fresh install. That’s negligible.
Unless you’re deploying 500 virtual machines on a single server, that all run a single simple basic task the base ram usage of the OS shouldn’t even be a factor.
For me it uses about 50mb. This means that something like a 1gb ram VM will go much farther.
