The Etch (testing) Debian installer I tried yesterday was pretty 
straightforward and impressive.  I liked the hardware detection (it did 
better than any distro so far on my Gigabyte all-in-one 64 bit board), 
and the partitioning tool is behaving very well with multiple partitions.

Of the latest distros I installed lately, this was the most pleasant to 
go through (I had to fight with most partitioners on the others).

(In the last 2 months I tried:  Kanotix 32 bit, Ubuntu Dapper 64 bit and 
32 bit,  Ubuntu Eft 32 bit, Kubuntu, Mepis, Mint, Gentoo 64 bit and 32 
bit and Debian Etch 32 bit - I tend to keep to apt-get distros).

Often, your final choices will have to do with how Linux play with your 
hardware.

Just another opinion...
