I'll answer my own question about the +/- of RPM and DEBs... http://kitenet.net/~joey/pkg-comp/ Also throws .tgz and .slp in as well. I do see a couple of nice things about RPM, such as triggers and verification programs built in to the packages. Other than that, I don't think it matters much when you are only taking features into account. APT and the Debian packaging system on the back-end is the bread and butter here.
