If it was me and I wanted recent packages then I'd use the most recent version of Ubuntu (not the LTS one). It has more recent packages than Debian stable. And personally I wouldn't use Debian testing because it will probably break fairly often. That's just my preferences though.

Or another option is to use Debian Stable, or Ubuntu LTS or whatever, and then if you need some more recent software, you can get it from Flatpak/Homebrew/etc
