Use Debian testing (etch) at the moment. It will become Debian stable within about a month :) It supports most modern hardware, is relatively up to date (late model X.org, KDE 3.5.*, Gnome 2.14) and will have a long support lifetime. There is likely to be some package churn over the next month in preparation for the release - after that, the amount of updating needed will be minimal for a system that should "just work".
