Debain 6.0, 6.0.1, 6.0.2, 6.0.3, 6.0.4, 6.0.5, 6.0.6 and of course 6.0.7. Then there is Debian 7.0 RC1 (very popular with the "Testing" crowd) and those of us who are really adventurous are running "Sid", which unfortunately doesn't have a version number.
Never mind, I misunderstood the question. I would just test a few mirrors closer to you and see which one is downloading packages the fastest. Or are you looking for something else?
I use the normal one :P
But there are a couple of scripts to benchmark this.
Anyway, for my personal boxes I never download more than some hundred megs of debs, so is irrelevant, the official mirrors do the job fine.
dotdeb is a favorite of mine

Yep, if he means 3rd party repos, dotdeb is the perfect one for the LNMP stack.
The official ones are "stable" but seems way too "out of date" in terms of package versions...I wonder if there is any other choices which balance the stability and up-to-date. I am not always looking for the latest version including the unstable ones, just want to keep up with the latest stable ones a little bit.
DotDeb, again xD
And apparently the backports repo (oficial) has some cool recent packages.
this.
dotdeb is good.
