Developers: debian, because it's the only sane choice.

New users: ubuntu, because it's shiny.


Honestly, any answer you get will either be "well, they all have
their strengths and weaknesses, so it's really up to you", rampant
flamebait and mindless self-cheerleading, or thinly-veiled
flamebait and very-slightly-thoughtful self-cheerleading.  I just
decided to cut to the chase by including all three in my email.
