I been using debian for ages, switched to ubuntu for the 6 month release

cycle and the benefits of beeing in the mainstream. Unfortunately the

later version made me long for something else. The unity/gnome3 thing +

the rumor that ubuntu was planning on abandoning their 6month release

cycle and switch to rolling release was too much for me and I installed

arch (after recommendations from this list).
I've been very happy with it, it's small, stable, has a rolling release

(I'd prefer a 6month release cycle, but it works quite well, nothing has

been really broken (not more than with a fresh unbuntu install) since.

It's a a bit hand-held during the install, but that's something you only

do once.
I'm sure you'll get a ton of recommendations, so good luck with choosing :-)
