For a long time I did the distro hopping thing, before realizing it is pretty pointless (even if it is fun). Find one that works for you and stick with it. I'd recommend Ubuntu or Fedora (although I haven't used Fedora for the last 2 years or so) in a work environment, and maybe add Arch to the mix for a non-professional environment. Most of the feel of the OS is defined by the package manager + the desktop environment, so just choose a pair that you like and see if there is a well supported distro that has both (or just install the DE over the base distro).
For example, Xfce is a great DE that's available for Arch/Fedora/Ubuntu. If you have Xfce as the DE, the three distros will feel pretty similar aside from package management, so you'd just choose whether you like pacman, dnf, or apt better.
