I agree with armin. The less people get dependent on MDK/Suse/Redhat the better(user beware: ones distro is like ones religion, discussing can result in heated debates).
If you have any experience working in DOS then setting up debian/gentoo shouldn't be much of a problem. Debian now has a graphical installer (mentioned on distrowatch) and gentoo has a well written install guide. You really can't go wrong with either. There is no better way to learn linux than installing one of these distros.

Hi Nick
You need to set the criteria for evaluatiing "BEST".
We could be subjective without any criteria.
E.G. just Apache and PHP, I would say go with Linux From Scratch. That is, build your own, then put it on a 386 I picked up on the road side. Is it the best? It runs on a 386, 5MB HDD, 4MB RAM.
