Best Linux or Unix Like OS

Im going to get a new desktop with XP installed on it(just an ordinary desktop with your average hardware), but i would like to install a Linux or Unix like OS onto it instead. So i was just wondering what OS would best suite me when considering the following

1) C\C++(UNIX), Java programming!
2) Oracle, SQL and maybe other database languages!
3) Decent GUI
4) Other software capability

thats my four most important factors when it comes to the right OS. I have looked at some OS like Ubuntu(didn't like it that much) FreeBSD and Slackware. Any opinions about an OS or a website that might help me please feel to post or if u think i should stick with XP.
thanks!
