Congratulations! rpm vs deb - your choice, just make sure the packages for what you want are available and recent. For what you listed, pound and varnish are available as debs. Not sure about rpms.
I use debian for my servers and have no complaints. However, install plone from the plone site, not as a package. You will get a more recent version, and maintaining different versions is slightly easier for me. My 2 cents.
