Ubuntu because of the general audience suitable support Canonical provides, e.g. AskUbuntu on StackExchange. It's where I've settled and though I use Xmonad, I found Unity an improvement on the older WIMP paradigms...at least once I learned to use it.

I'll add that part of the reason for focusing on Ubuntu is that I think it would be hard for a company to build and maintain a critical mass behind most other distributions...and that sort of stability matters to me.

Good luck.

XUbuntu for me. I just got a ThinkPad for the first time and installed xubuntu on it. Running super fast with really low battery usage.

Arch Linux. The install can be time consuming and it would be nice to have it pre-installed.

Whatever it could be, I'd wipe it anyway and set up a new LVM.
