In my experience, Ubuntu is a lot more stable than other end-user distributions, but if you find it doesn't support your hardware, you might try Fedora, which has a more bleeding-edge kernel.
For a purely "try it out" experience, try Knoppix. It's the oldest and most advanced bootable "live CD".
Hope this helps! It sounded like you wanted a specific recommendation, so there ya go.
