which distro to choose?!

Hi all,
I have a unique problem...I don't know which distro to choose from? I have tried the following,
  1. Redhat first, Since I was a kid in computers at that time, got vexed and dropped it.
  2. Used Suse for some time in official works. Used versions 9.3 and then 10.2 for some time on my personal laptop.
  3. Experimented with Debian version 3 and 4. Liked this very much
  4. Finally tried Freespire and live CD of Ubuntu....
Now, I m totally confused as to which distro to use on the longer run . I like each distro and certainly interested in a feature in each distro....Problem for me is the overwhelming choices available....
Some suggestions ppl..so that I can start hanging on with one and enjoy

The trick is that they all offer something that the others don't and they are possibly lacking in other areas compared to the others. Your choice of distro is your own and is purely a matter of preference.

There are already several polls on this in the coffee lounge and Linux Newbie areas. Also check this thread -
