I use Arch for my laptop (just recently) and Arch and Ubuntu on my servers. I was forced into Ubuntu, but I was very pleasantly surprised at the methodologies and documentation available to implement the services and processes I needed. Arch is very much the same - not afraid to make changes if it has a benefit in the long run. As for setting up Xorg and a window manager/desktop manager/login manager on my laptop was finally super easy. Looks like it has come a long way in the past couple of years...surprised Linux Mint is still giving me troubles.
