I've used about every distro out there. Every 6 months or so I'll download the latest stable release from each major family of linux (RPM, DEB, Source Compiled etc) and give it a try. For the last 2 years I've been extremely pleased with my Ubuntu experience (Ubuntu family anyways), and use it pretty much exclusively.
However as of late I'm growing more and more dis-satisfied with the Ubuntu x64 desktop experience. Flash and Java are both broken on my system, and try as I might I can't seem to repair them. Now this might be a problem with all versions of Linux in the x64 family, I haven't experimented enough to say for sure. But for me at least Flash and Java on x64 are nearly deal breakers for me. That said, the Ubuntu family has the broadest support base out there, and people in the forums are usually pretty quick to solve any problems that you may run into.
