For what it's worth, I did finally make a choice. I am now running Mandriva 2008.1, sort of. I say that because I've enabled all the Cooker repos which means my system is actually closer to Mandriva 2009 so it's pretty bleeding edge. It's very nice and I am very happy with it.
As I haven't used Kubuntu, all I can do is suggest Mandriva 2008.1 Spring Edition. Very nicely installs on pretty well all computers that I have tried it with. Works with everything I've thrown at it, except for webcams that were builtin on laptops. For usability the KDE desktop is the one I've choosen to use. Now on the other hand, Linux Mint was my second choice for distro. All round, Mandriva fills all my computing needs especial since I've migrated for the Winblows world. Just my 2 cents
Run Arch, it doesn't suck.
