I followed the same progression, but I'm happily stuck at Debian.
If I had to do it all over again, I think I would start with Ubuntu or Fedora. Both have great installers, work on nearly everything you can throw at them, and are well supported.
Debian, of course, rocks. :) But the currently-shipping installer can be difficult for new users. I've never used Gentoo.
I'm a newer kid on the block. Worked many years on Sun Solaris and Ultrix. The last two years+ I have been using Linux because of work. Because I showed up late I started with Fedora Core 2. I tried Fedora Core 4 but it worked so much differently than FC2 that I went back to FC2. I really like it.
Many of the other developers at my current job use Mandrake and I don't hear anyone complaining.
