It all depends really, I find its all down to prefrence, Ive used Redhat, Mandrake, Suse and Debian, keeping each distro for about 3 months, been using Slackware for the last 2 months and I really like it.

I feel imho, its best to try a few distros and go for the one you are most comfortable with, I will be trying gentoo soon as well, but Ill be installing that on another machine as I am very happy with slack, try a few and stick with distros you like best.
