It may seem obvious, but to me, the best computer related products are
the ones I just find myself always going back to. I try out different
products, different word processors, email clients, browsers, and
distros. I don't know how many email clients I've used, for example,
hoping to find the perfect one, but I just keep going back to PINE,
because it always works, and does everything I need.
I always go back to RedHat. I've tried several others, but I just find
myself always going back to it. Corel tries too hard to be Windows...
Slackware is just too crude (two comments there: I haven't used
slackware in many years, so that may well have changed, and when I was
first learning Linux Slackware's crudeness was perfect, since it forced
you learn how the things really worked on a low level)... They all have
their quirks (RedHat is no exception to that rule); but RedHat just
seems to be the best balance of what I find myself needing in a distro.
Perfect? Certainly not!
Definitely good though.
RedHat gets my vote.

When I read Kenny's post, I checked on CNET to see if they had any
stats.
However they do have a review of distros including Red Hat 7.1.
