It all depends on what you nees. If you want a simple install without having to install packages as you go, a Fedora install of everything is definitely what you want. If you want a simple base install and then you want to install packages as you need them, and you want to be able to easily install more prebuilt packages than any other distro, I recommend Debian. I have personally used both, and find them to be quite good. It is ultimately your decision which distro you feel best suits your needs. Sorry for the vague answer, but it is better to make an informed decision about a Linux distro yourself than to have someone tell you "use Fedora" or "use Debian".
