Depends on your use case and preference

If you're experienced enough or willing to learn then either of them are
equally good and you shouldn't have any problem

If you're new to Debian and are not willing to learn tiny things here and
there then you should consider one over the other.

Most of the software is available for both from official repositories. But
for some software which isn't available yet in the repositories you have to
build from source or consider using other sources(either third-party
repositories or deb,tar packages) which may be of a problem as some times
you wouldn't find support for both of them. Some support Ubuntu only and
some support Debian and some support both(although only certain versions).

And with Debian you should setup some things after first install like
enabling non-free section for firmwares and nvidia drivers, fonts,bash
completion etc.

Some even expect you to use certain version of one of them like Nvidia
cudnn which fully supported only on Ubuntu 18.04 although you can get
around these with some manual installation work

Debian is most stable though.
