Which is the best distribution?

Stability and scalability and a certain conservatism is what i expect from an Enterprise Desktop distribution. I think the author puts too little emphasize on the latter two points and thus oversees Debian as a viable Enterprise Desktop OS. You do not have to expect the average users to setup their system alone. This is what the admins are there for. Once set up, Debian's update cycle, its stability and the tools for distributed management make it a very good choice in this area - in this area as well, as you might add.

I totally agree. I currently see here in Germany that lots of independent small companies choose Debian if asked to convert an organisation (unless explicitly told not to), especially for customers in the public sector here in Germany.
