good looking GUI: when you look at feature list, two more popular GUIs are Gnome and KDE, personal preference of the two is KDE..
Compatiable: linux should be compatiable with most linux apps right?
fast: they should be fast, but define what you mean
SuSE is Free...

Anyways, SuSE is very good for beginners because you can use YaST to do alot of the hard work.

Mandrake 10.1 IMO is a pain because it's always giving me grief and never starts the the GUI.

Those are the only ones I have tried and I must say that I like SuSE 9.3 (Free) the most.
