I been using debian for ages, switched to ubuntu for the 6 month release 
cycle and the benefits of beeing in the mainstream. Unfortunately the 
later version made me long for something else. The unity/gnome3 thing + 
the rumor that ubuntu was planning on abandoning their 6month release 
cycle and switch to rolling release was too much for me and I installed 
arch (after recommendations from this list).

I've been very happy with it, it's small, stable, has a rolling release 
(I'd prefer a 6month release cycle, but it works quite well, nothing has 
been really broken (not more than with a fresh unbuntu install) since. 
It's a a bit hand-held during the install, but that's something you only 
do once.

I'm sure you'll get a ton of recommendations, so good luck with choosing :-)
