Is Fedora 21 Alpha my best choice for trying this out?

Probably, but I heard Debian unstable is already packaging it, so that's an option too.

Both Debian and Fedora are good options. As summed up nicely by the "Introducing GNOME3 3.14" video at 2:15 [1], here is a probable order of 3.14 landing in various distributions:

1. Arch

2. Fedora

3. Debian

4. Mageia

5. SuSE

Gnome Shell is really beautiful and practical. I'm switching to Fedora Rawhide (I tried Arch Linux, but got a bit disappointed with it), because I got tired of Ubuntu's effort to boycott Shell (although you can still install it) instead of merging efforts to create desktop experience at par with Windows and OS X. My only issue was the lack of a dark Gnome 2 theme in Adwaita. Does anyone know if 3.14 fixes that?
