This question has been asked a million times over, and the answer is always the same: do some research, read reviews others have written, then try several distros, and decide for yourself which one best suits your needs and preferences. Just as you have described, every distro has its own good points and bad points, and it's a subjective call as to which one is going to be "best" for you. Only you can make that decision.
One good central source for downloading many of the most popular distros is
