Sarge Installer supports automation by allowing you to pre-seed a configuration with all the options managed by the debian configuration system DebConf. We use Sarge as our platform for palm-top device development and have fully automated installations for testing and production. Also, having the build and package distribution systems available makes SUCH a difference. You cannot customize Red Hat or SuSE this way because neither distribution makes their automated build and distribution systems available. Go Debian!
