Debian is so ideological that the next kernel from them will have no proprietary blobs at all. That means that it won't even detect hardware that does not have open source drivers. You are SOL if you have proprietary equipment and use Debian and don't expect any sympathy. At least all of the loonies are in one asylum. ;)
Fedora's approach is not driven by zealots. They contribute much to open source and take a stance that open source is preferred, but make it possible for users to add as they wish. It is a much more practical and sane way to look at it, IMO. Every approach has its critics. Mint and Ubuntu can be accused of giving users what they don't want and then forcing them to remove the offending bits (Mono).
