Having led / created 5 Ubuntu LoCo teams I can tell you the version introduced to newcomers is very much always the default one (so, with Unity + all) at all events/discussions. In that context the "Ubuntu w/Unity" is very much the default experience. As an advocate I can't suggest installing that without getting asked about it and going into lengthy discussions and work to explain and remove such features (Ubuntu One, the dash-search, Unity itself, non-free software, etc.). By the time you have the "default' Ubuntu experience, you won't be investing time and installation again to go to Kubuntu, Lubuntu, etc... With Trisquel the discussion is *zero* in such aspects and so far everyone I've talked about it that used Ubuntu show a lot of interest in helping with Trisquel or Debian (my choice of distributions) rather than going for Ubuntu.
