Thinkpads are usually pretty standard hardware. I'd go with debian. Don't bother with gentoo, it's not good for laptops because of intense processing. However the cutting edge hardware support is great. Because of this I'd only run gentoo on a laptop with cutting edge hardware, like the dell that I have. With a thinkpad, I'd go debian. I also hear good things about libranet, a debian based commercial distro. Supposedly they keep things up to date, which may mean more up to date than debian-stable.
