Is this question for me?
If so;
I've used Linux for a decade, so I've tried quite a lot. Red Hat, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, Lunar, Fedora, Cent, Arch, LFS, Caldera, Craftworks, Crux ... too many to count.... also lots of BSD variants.
Nowadays I'm too lazy for source based distros like Gentoo or Lunar, so I just stick to Debian, Slack, Arch or OpenBSD for most of my comps. I don't really have a preference, but I'm most comfortable with Aptitude, Portage or Pkg syntax (Arch's Yaourt always makes me feel tile typing 'yoghurt', for some strange reason)
wow...thats quite a distro-hopping..it's nice to have experience with many distros... If so;

just to clear things up, Yaourt is not Arch's official package manager..Pacman is. Of course you will feel _weird_ when using unofficial package.
For new user who wants to learn and gets your hand dirty diving into linux, try to install Slackware or Debian, these are among the oldest of the old GNU/Linux distrobutions. When you're familiar with these two..later can try to install LFS, Crux.. just to name a few..
For those who just like to try linux and use it pretty much like Windows..use Ubuntu/Fedora or any Ubuntu/Fedora derivatives.
Try to avoid Gentoo as much as you can..
Take note that there's no such things as distro A is better than B vice versa...it is boils down to your preference and experience only..
