You might want to read some reviews linked to http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=ubuntu

Other than that...

Pros: It has fairly good hardware detection, easy install, sets up X, uses apt-get for package management, and only requires one pc.
Cons: No ability to play dvds and mp3s out of the box (all though it easy to add on), cant customize the install.
