The general approach to introducing packages in Debian is also arguably more conservative, which also gives it a little bit more stability (in both senses of the word).<br /><br />Arch is bleeding edge, and has the potential to break spectactularly if you don't pay attention. On the other hand, when Arch does break, the Archh forums are second to none, and I'd like to think that fixes comes faster than to debian testing (since any fix should go through unstable first).<br /><br />Go for testing.
