I'm thinking that you could make yourself a list of what apps you would like to have and another of what apps you really need to do your thing for both and compare. I have not found the problem you mention, of apps for one that are not on another.
I was a Fedora user since Red Hat 6.5 and about 18 months ago switched to Ubuntu 10 which does everything I need, then came Fedora 14 so I loaded it onto another hard drive and am quite chuffed because I have the best of both worlds.
For me there is almost nothing to pick between them, I enjoy the differences particularly with trying to set up multi install in Drupal and SELinux on Fedora 14
Be warned, in Fedora you will get many, many SELinux reports until you teach it what is acceptable to you and what is not.
That for me was a nuisance.
I have never bothered with Ubuntu one, in my reckoning that technology is still new enough to be avoided unless one knows what one is doing and has strong reasons for using it, I don't.

Hello,
I have been using Ubuntu for a couple of years, and I am increasingly
unhappy with it. I dislike the Ubuntu One integration, I think upstart
is irritating, and I am sick of my bug reports vegetating forever in
Launchpad. Therefore I want to switch distributions, and I have already
narrowed it down to either Debian unstable or Fedora (but a release, not
rawhide).
Unfortunately I have a hard time deciding between the two, because I am
very much biased by the fact that I have already used Debian in the past
and a lot of experience with it. So I invariably come up with random
nice Debian features which then turn out not to exist in Fedora. But on
the other hand, all the nice Fedora features that Debian can't offer are
unknown to me.
Hence, to allow me to make a good decision, I would be very happy to
hear about your favorite Fedora feature that I would totally miss if I
went with Debian.
Just to be clear: I am *not* interested in starting a Debian vs Fedora
thread here. So am only asking for your pro-fedora points, so there
shouldn't even be the possibility of a flamewar :-).
Best,
-Nikolaus
Debian is very stable and apt-get is very easy. Fedora is unstable but it has more new software and new features. It is no a easy choice.
So I agree Chris Smart's opinion, you had better try Fedora and Debian by yourself.
