  Ubuntu is my favorite choice as it based on the standard Debian which synonymous of reliability and it has constant upgrades, with 6 months release cycle.

  CentOS for production environments because the packages are derived from RHEL and extensively tested. But I still have a sweet-spot for FreeBSD.

  Gotta love Gentoo - an awesome package manager, everything compiled and optimised for your machine, generally pretty top notch.

  Right now that's a tough one with the whole unity / gnome mess. I like Mint with Cinnamon installed as you get a nice interface with the convenience of Debian / Ubuntu packages.
