for sysadmin/advanced user - ubuntu
for beginner - suse/mandrake/fedora and ubuntu if they are using the whole pc - but most people want a gui if they are going do any fancy partitions.
I still think ubuntu is the best overall - I installed it for a few people and it never once croaked and recognized all hardware which is more I can say for the other three and once it is setup a newbie can use for day to day use.
so if a newbie has someone to install it then they should go with ubuntu - but if the newbie is doing the install then they are probably going with a gui install.
Me personally I like the install of unbuntu - it is easy and it flies and just goes to work - and best of all I only have to do it ONCE.
