If it's of any value, I am a total amateur with setting up machines and
had never used linux at all until last week. 

I managed to install, network, configure SC in about a day. I chose
Mint, because its user forum was friendly to non-programmer types like
me, and the colour is pleasant. I found the process relatively
straightforward, and  

Now running SC 7.3.3 headless on a $300 eeebox. Very pleased with the
results. Very responsive over webUI, plugins work as they should, and
everything just seemed to work. (7.3.3 fixed an issue with not playing
.wma files).

So for the point of view of ease of usage for amateurs, Mint (a Debian
derivative) gets my tick.
