Most recent version of Ubuntu.
There will be pain. You get the choice of horrendously outdated software where really annoying bugs don't get fixed for 2 years (if you go with LTS) and major upgrades that rarely go smoothly every 6 months (if you don't).
I'd recommend not going with LTS; one day you'll hit some missing feature in GIMP, Inkscape or whatever you're using and start cursing your life choices.
If you are disciplined enough to document the changes you make to the system (installed packages, changed settings, anything outside your home dir basically) you can simplify your life a lot, because you can reinstall from scratch easily. While the update process has gotten better, old wisdom often suggested to reinstall instead of attempting an in-place upgrade.
