looking for distro with the most kickass GUI
 

The subject says it all. I'm sure Beryl will pop up here and there, but that has been a real pain in the ass for me to install.

I think any distribution will do. Most of them may look a bit bland out of the box but if you go to a site look gnome-look.org or kde-look.org, you can download as many icons, wallpapers, windows, etc. as you like. Then you can have your very own custom GUI.

btw, check the thread in the "general" section where people are posting and comparing their desktkops. Could be inspiring.
