You're not going to get a single same answer on this. LOL
My favorites are Centos, and Ubuntu.
For server I'm using Centos, 5.3 is the current or will be very soon.
Stability is the main reason.
It is essentially a rebranding of RedHat Enterprise, but free. It doesn't
have a new version every six months thus the stability, but bugs and
critical problems are fixed fast.
For my laptop I'm running Ubuntu 8.04, I tried lots of distro's but this was
the one, that really didn't give me any problems, everything installed and
worked, especially my wireless connections, which was always the biggest
problems on the other distro's.
The other distro's may have worked out their bugs by now, but I don't need
to fix what isn't broken.

Subject: new hotness?
I have been looking about for the new hotness as it were. and wondering what
dis has something really groundbreaking that makes it worthwhile to look at.
I guess part of me is tired of the flavor of the month distributions that
are esentially something else with a new look and a slightly different
package base or whatnot.
for example Fedora Directory Server is very interesting to me, because
whether we like it or not this will be a windows heavy world for some time.
but what else is there that i cna really sink my teeth into. or even whats
worth doing that with?
My personal list of Distributions i have spent some real quality time with
Ubuntu/Debian
Fedora/Red Hat new and old/Centos
Suse/Opensuse
Gentoo
and a few other that more or less were a repackage of one of the above
