I use Ubuntu on my web servers, and archlinux on my general purpose servers... Ubuntu is just so easy to get apache setup right for multi-hosting and general web app setups, the converse is that archlinux is surprisingly difficult to get apache working right (how I want, anyway) on. But that's mostly a function of apache being a pain, and the arch apache setup being largely 'whatever upstream distributes'. Personally tho, I go with binary packages for the most part, I have no real need for compiling everything from source. I did try to install gentoo once, it was annoying and difficult, the installer was hideously out of date compared to the things being installed, and the whole thing fell apart from dependancy problems long before I got a working desktop... And to think I went with a LFS setup a few years ago, and was happy with it for ages (about 2-3 years on my primary desktop).
