Fedora Linux for Desktop - Great documentation, community and support. You get the greatest, latest and the most robust distro in terms of drivers and stability (I've tried Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Manjaro) that requires very less sysadmin work (unlike Arch etc.).

Debian Linux for server (stable, tested).

Rant: Few years ago the state of yum based distros was very bad and at that time Ubuntu came and was instantly favoured. Right now rpm based distros are in much better shape and deserves a shot. About pkg-management -- I find apt clumsy for example you need to apt-cache search/list, but to install do apt-get install; I like yum (search/install etc. just one tool) and rpm a lot.
