For networking, either will work. As you say, they are very similar. (Purists will foam at the mouth at them being called "similar", but it's true: Mostly the same or compatible programs, in mostly the same places, used mostly the same way.) BSD and Linux implement firewalling very differently though. Again, there's not a clear winner, they're just different.

and which of them has future (for e.g not discontinued after 2 years later)?
Debian Linux is a common favorite for servers, and has been around in one form or another since 1993 so probably isn't going away very soon. They're sometimes criticized for not changing quickly enough, but this is for support and stability reasons; they do backporting when other distros would just want you to upgrade..
