for servers i prefer OEL5.5 (and soon to be OL6) based on redhat, easy install, easy configuring, so far seems good for virtualization.
For desktop/laptop i have only ever used fedora V3 and ubuntu, i have to say i prefer ubuntu out of the two as it had fewer issues - just downloaded the redhat version 6 software to try out though so will see what the future holds
