Linux Desktop OS

Right, I know this topic has more or less been done to death, however, I'm bringing it up again.
I'm planning on moving to Linux as a full time desktop OS for my home system.
I don't want to run a security distro, or anything that runs as root and just use my Windows OS in a VM when I need to use Word.

I have been looking at Ubuntu, Mint, Sabayon Linux, pretty keen on the last two so far.

Just wondering what experience you guys have of any of the above.
