Debian or Raspbian?

If Raspbian - that's based very closely on Debian but isn't strictly Debian.

Mixing the two might not be a good idea since there will probably be 
incompatibilities at some level.

There is a port of pure Debian to the Pi 2 - look on the Debian wiki - but no 
one has yet done this for the Pi 3 as far as I know.

[The original Pi required different compilation options to cope with floating 
point "stuff" which rendered Debian incompatible:
Raspbian is a re-compilation to suit the Raspberry Pi. Pi 2 is ARM v7 with 
hardware floating point. Pi 3 is 64 bit core (so arm64 would work if
the Pi folk hadn't put in 32 bit glue logic or thereabouts). There are also 
issues with the way of loading the operating system, initialising video
and non-free firmware which can cause problems.]

All the best,
