I would rather say the difference is rather big. In the end, it's the difference between using a rolling distro or a "frozen" one like Debian/Ubuntu. Personally, I prefer the latter as I like to have a system that - once I got it working - keeps working and does not occasionally break after updates. If you are more on the edgy side and want to have the newest stuff, a rolling distro might be the better option. Also, when running on not-so-well-supported hardware (like the PINE-H64) hardware support might be a lot better.
Yet, I think that it's pretty feasible to run the H6 with the combination of Debian stable and an unstable kernel (eventually using a usb-ethernet-adapter if the driver makes trouble). The upcoming Debian 11 version (bullseye) should have better support for the H6, although I doubt it will officially support it ootb.
