the PBP definitely has better (and actual) Debian support (https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Pinebook_Pr...ses#Debian), it also has the benefit of time and more developers on its side, so there is far more developed support for its hardware. Though, it does seem that for Debain to run right, you will want to install TowBoot to the SPI first.
The PT2 has been steadily chugging along with its development (understandable hurdles slow it down, such as fewer developers and several supplied drivers that need rewritten) but if you're not worried about BT w/o using a dongle and no working cameras yet, it works wonderfully! Concerning Debian, it does not currently have official Debian support, like the PBP, instead it has a port called Mobian available. However, installing Mobian has a few more hoops to jump through for installation vs Arch on the PT2 or Debian on the PBP (https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebian...4/PineTab2)
