I use Arch Linux because I get to choose exactly what is running on my system. Arch also has the most active community as well, IMHO. If there's ever any doubt how to do something, the Arch Wiki will show you how to do it, often 5 different ways.
One of the biggest pluses of Arch is the Arch User Repository. If a package for something doesn't exist, someone will put it in the AUR for you. Whenever some software is released for a specific Linux distro, I assume Arch gets it too and I'm almost always right. I like Mint Linux's UI a lot (that's Mint Linux's main selling point) so I installed it on Arch with one command. Steam only worked with Ubuntu when it was released for Linux... except I installed it on Arch with one command the next day. Spotify is tricky to get for Linux unless you use a Debian based distro... or Arch, in which case it's in the AUR ready to be installed with one command.
