My past experiences with SuSE, Fedora, and Red Hat, RPM distributions, eventually experienced a corrupt repository that in each case took hours to fix. That's when I settled on Ubuntu in 2006 and haven't looked back.
I heard bad things about RPM before, but that was long ago. To be honest, I think by 2006 most issues were already over, and YUM was mostly on par with APT. Don't know what might happen in your specific case.
