We have some stuff hosted on a CentOS virtual server, but I have been growing increasingly fond of Manjaro. It's built on top of the excellent Arch linux distro, but provides greater usability. I've got it on a research machine at work and on my Linux-Fu machine at home that I've been using to push through some very processor-intensive php data wrangling/shaping scripts for our current catalog migration. I'm using the xcfe desktop and I'm quite happy with it. If I wasn't using Manjaro, I'd probably be back to using Mint. Bear in mind that Mint and Ubuntu will tend to have more things built to work seamlessly with them.
