Can't decide on what Linux Distro to install.

Professional as in interface or what you'll be using it for? The great think about Linux distros is that they are VERY customizable. If Debian has what you want, look for packages that make it look and feel the way you want. If Ubuntu has what you want + a interface you like built in, go with that.

Rip, will just install both after making another partition.

What are your likes and dislikes about either, if any?

Ever tried Zorin? It's not too shabby, very easy to use.  I believe it's based off Ubuntu as well.

Im using linux mint. A more traditional interface of ubuntu distro. No problems what so ever with it.

Planning on trying StarCitizen (Highly recommended)? STAR-NR5P-CJFR is my referal link

Debian = Professional and has a lot of networking support. 

Ubuntu = Good interface etc.

All depends on your usage, currently I am loving a stable branch so Debian was my choice, its rather easy to setup and run, hardly breaks (Stable I have never seen break without trying).

Ubuntu is better than what it used to be but its rather resource hungry, and with Debian you have more of a blank slate for your setup.

CentOS is also brilliant, very professional in terms of usage and looks, super fast (Really really fast) good resource management etc, based on RHEL.

To be honest, just make a live cd and test them or VM them, you cant really go wrong with distro these days.
