For host system requirements is there a distro that works better

Opinions will vary of course, but strictly personally, given a free
choice, I'd prefer something with a structure and "modus operandi"
similar to (B)LFS. There seem to be two major and majorly different
contenders: the RedHat/(Slack?) Way and the Debian/Ubuntu Way. I
haven't used Slackware, want to one of these days, but I have used
RedHat and Ubuntu. (B)LFS seems to me to be more the RedHat Way, minus
the bells and whistles. When I stepped up to 64-bits, I chose my
CentOS-6.6 system as host, and it was easy, no tweaking my head around
because of different "habits".
I use Debian for my classes, but really any distro will do as long as it
passes the Host Systems Requirement check. To me the apt-get of Debian is
a little easier to use, but that's probably because I am more familiar
with it.
Note that when doing a Debian install, I tell it to use xfce. I find that
a *lot* easier than the default, gnome.
