Canonical does offer commercial support for vanilla Ubuntu. It's on the website. I think that vanilla Ubuntu or Xubuntu would be the best options. The low latency in US will cause cause confusion, and to be honest, be a bit of overkill. I have a setup of Xubuntu that I use to introduce folks to Linux. It's setup to mimic winxp cosmetically, and most users find it close enough that they learn everything within a few hours.
