I think the ability of the staff to work with one or the other is
so important, it dwarfs the other points (except maybe support, if there is a big difference between
distros).
I choose SUSE because they are driving the linux desktop much more so then another distro,
and there is some benifits, from a staffing point of view, to have the server environment and
desktop environment being the same distro, so SUSE has worked well for me because of that.
If desktop isn't a issue, i'd say suse vs. redhat is a tie as far as what you can do with them,
and thus if suse support is better, go with suse.
