That's a tricky issue.  http.debian.net is currently a CNAME for
httpredir... so should be no worse.  I've had lots of problems with
httpredir.debian.org, and at least for a long time it was virtually
unmaintained, so I've been hesitant to "change" to it without changing
to a better alternative.

Another option is deb.debian.org, but it is still considered
experimental; that is what I've personally been using lately.

Unfortunately, I don't see a good default.  Picking a well-supported
country-specific mirror, which would obviously be a bad default for
everyone not close to the mirror...

live well,
