Don't see any issue with generally mentioning Arch together with Mint or Fedora or Debian or CentOS. Heck, they're all in the DistroWatch's TOP10, and they are all very alike (sure, some pieces are quite different - but, I'd say, the big image isn't much). Unless the choice is specifically locked down to "Mint or Fedora", of course.
But if every $distro user author meets, tends to inappropriately put "I use $distro[1]" in Linux-related conversation, then there's something not right not exactly with the $distro but with the company the author's in. Don't want to offend anyone, but that's feels a lot like neophyte-like behavior, when everything's so new and shiny, and every difference is overwhelming.
[1] Arch's by no means unique or outstanding here.
