The one you are most familiar with is usually the best choice. If you
are creating a Linux From Scratch system, there is significant work in
getting all the required tools installed. You will basically do all the
work the distros are doing. Ubuntu and Fedora are popular distros and
plenty of users.

Correct, on the other hand it is sufficient to build from source from
the main distros. The main source of build errors are missing/back level
tools. I added the list of tools needed in this wiki:
http://wiki.x.org/wiki/RequiredPackages

Building is done continuously on various workstations and their build
logs may help:
http://tinderbox.freedesktop.org/

I have very little info from which to make recommendations.
