depends on How experienced you are.

If you are new, something along the lines of Suse Or readhat

if you are expierenced, or REALLY want to know how linux works use Gentoo or debain. I personally use Gentoo. I tryed suse once, worked really nice, but was bloated, and I couldnt build any files from scratch (no dev tools from default install)
