I don't think it's about distro unless you want it do everything what you want out of the box. I would take Gentoo (since I use it everywhere), install it normally on USB like on any other hard disk and install all necessary software. You can also debug it first in chroot'ed sandbox (see handbook basic installation) and then just to copy everything but portage to the USB with Grub loader pre-installed. You won't have GUI until you install it, but command line gives you full control.
