For me: Mandrake 10.1... I like to fiddle and MDK always has plenty to fiddle with! ;-)

For newbies and non-techies, Ubuntu "warty warthog" because it looks beautiful and defends the stupid against themselves!

For me Mepis is number one. I am a newbie since last spring and Mepis opened the door to Linux for me. I know there are a lot of great distros out there for the geeks but for people like me, Mepis is the door and the house. If you are looking Linux over yourself and feel a bit intimidated, hey come on in and make yourself at home ... l did.

Fedora.

It (along with any previous Red Hat version I have tried) are the only ones to successfully get everything running (including sound) on install. Every other distro I have tried had some quirk which prevented installing, or had something broken when installation was done.

Knoppix has made my life much easier. I installed debian outta the box and wasn't near as happy as the ease of install as the knx2hd install. Easy to install and update, works right away. Sure I like to pop the hood, but for an installer to need extra drivers is personally a pain in the gummy bummy. Go Klaus.
