I use OpenBSD for the most part at this point. It has a nice toolset for
building your own packages, applying your own patches in paralel with the
official distribution and so on. It has a reputation of being obscure, but the
standard tasks (web server, email server, firewalling) are fire-and-forget
affairs. OpenBSD has a nice userspace ecosystem which is not easily portable to
other systems (meaning that if you want to use the OpenBSD web server, you need
OpenBSD).

I keep a Slackware around for testing too.
