I use both Gentoo and Ubuntu. I like them both for different reasons. My server runs Gentoo, and it is a pain to me on occasion, when I don't keep up on upgrades and then have to spend weeks getting it up to date semi-manually. But I actually like the hassle because it teaches me a lot about how my system works.
Ubuntu is the easiest distribution I have ever used on a laptop. It works well. And for me the upgrade was seemless. Absolutely no problems.
They are in the US too. They are the fourth largest carrier here. See http://www.t-mobile.com/
