Go for Debian:

Well, we need to state that this is not a unique feature.

Depends. I had lots of issues with upgrade process in the past -- but
yeah, it is much better than most distros.

* Very easy to administrate via apt-get.

Right. apt is better than yum (in terms of speed).

Choose Debian SID or testing, which will provide the latest fixes.

One thing that I don't like about Debian is their update policy.

If upstream is releasing a security update, I'd like to be able to find
new packages as upstream announces updated sets. Yes, I'm talking about
PostgreSQL here.

This is exactly what Debian does for a while now(at least for PostgreSQL)..
Ie.: Debian Etch aka  has 8.1.18 and Debian Lenny has 8.3.8...
