I use Debian testing pretty much exclusively.  Like it, so I guess it's my
first choice.
I prefer OpenBSD for firewalling and network based anything.  Then I was
pretty happy with Ubuntu for desktop stuff but needed more direct debian
package compliance for what I was doing so had to switch off of it.

I also use FreeBSD but find the distribution updates to be a major pain
that I have never mastered...so I don't like it much.  Wish I did like it
since so many other people seem to love it.
