Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - I chose it because it matched the OS we were running on our servers, so matching environments made my life as easy as possible. I've also used Ubuntu extensively in the past, along with other linux environments (Linux Mint and ArchLinux come to mind), but went back to Ubuntu because it was my first that I spent a lot of time in. It supports everything I needed for school (LibreOffice for documents, OpenJDK for most things Java) and gives me the flexibility I need. The LTS allows me to ignore the 6 month releases and still know that I am one a supported platform.
