If linux distros were WW2 tanks.

Linux Mint - M4 Sherman
Sturdy, reliable, easy to build and maintain

Ubuntu - T-34
Easy to build, does what you want it to but terribly unreliable and tends to break down after a while

Arch - Tiger

Hard to build and takes too long, works great in design but in practice it just breaks down, over riced causing it to be unstable

Debian - Challenger

The best, usable in any situation, fairly easy to build and mighty reliable.

Linux Lite - M24 Chaffee

Fast, small, easy to build and unusually reliable for a light distro.

CentOS - Char B1

Outdated but still a beast of a distro.
