I'm not disagreeing with you, per se, but your claim that "updates have habit of breaking stuff? Debian doesn't do that." seems about as, how did you put it, constructive, as the question.
I'd always recommend CentOS or RHEL, but it doesn't matter. What matters, is what has already been pointed out: there's really no right answer to this question. It's horses for courses: you pick an OS / distribution based on what you want it for. I've even stopped using VMs, for the most part, in favour of Docker containers as much of what I need them for is ephemeral in nature, and I don't need them clocking up my hard drive.
