Although the debian port for armhf will run on the latest and greatest
rpi, they don't have a kernel targeting the rpi3 specifically as far as I
know. So, if you want a debian-like distro, I suggest you start out
with raspbian. Speakup and espeakup aren't included by default. You'll
have to either ssh in, or use a serial to usb cable for the rpi, and
install them. One tip, if you're wanting software speech on the rpi,
get a usb sound card, since the on-board audio has issues as far as
software speech goes, and in general too.

You seem to have already answered this for yourself.
