   The first thing I'm thinking of when I hear about stable Debian vs unstable   
   Ubuntu is that I always had problems when I tried to upgrade Ubuntu version.   
   Actually it just won't update and it crashed, so I had to reinstall Ubuntu   
   (just like Windows).   
      
   In Debian, dist-upgrade works just fine. So far, I use sid for a year and feel   
   it like more stable than Ubuntu.

   Well, Debian is definitely lighter, because it doesn't have extras implemented   
   by Canonical in Ubuntu by default like snap-crap and so on.   
      
   I don't think there should be any file compatibility issues if we are talking   
   about storage. If both have ext4 you are good to go (maybe, different file   
   systems are also fine, but I cannot guarantee since I never tested that). I   
   exchange files regularly between my Debian and Gentoo laptops (both ext4)    
   it's more than compatible.
