   the correct answer is "nothing in particular"
   whilst other package managers can be especially good for particular things, apt is decent at most things. it's a very solid choice in all regards
   there's a reason yum and apt sit at the centre of an awful lot of servers - they're very stable and doesn't tend to randomly break
   whilst yes pacman is nice and I like it too, i wouldn't want to be making production systems use it lest you have another "pacman overwrote my config again" episode (although that's nowhere near as common as it used to be)

     apt is sort of the baseline
     it deals with bindery packages which are reasonably small, and which you can build yourself if you want custom distributable software. pacman also has this but they're sorta just... scripts
     most of the main apt repositories are also almost infamous for keeping things "stable", pacman's are sorta the wild west wherein new maybe broken versions appear quite often
     apt's CLI is very friendly, I don't think anyone will argue that apt upgrade is less opaque than pacman -Syu
     there's more but that's the sorta thing
