The big reason I dropped all other distros in favor of Debian/Ubuntu was due to the very easy deb package managers and the nifty automatic updates.  Handing out an Ubuntu LiveCD means that you know they'll have the most current stuff the instant the most current stuff becomes available, even if the major update occurs a few weeks after the show.
