Recently, I've been seriously considering a switch to Debian, because of the apparent ease of upgrades. [snip] My main concern is with security updates. [snip] To keep as up-to-date as I need to be, I'd need to Debian-unstable, but I'm worried about the speed with which security updates are released for the unstable tree. Does anyone have any advice about this?

Yes, try Gentoo (http://www.gentoo.org). Gentoo is a source-based distribution inspired in part by Debian. It's Portage system works much like apt-get. The main difference is that Gentoo is designed to be bleeding-edge. There is no distribution that is as up-to-date as Gentoo.
